“Typical Gibson. Stylish and very good. Dystopian near future sci fi.”

“ This novel was The Matrix before the idea became ubiquitous on the big screen. Gibson has a way of making the future both slick and beautiful, while keeping it dirty, pock marked, and DANGEROUS. I wouldn’t mind hanging out at Cognizant Dissidents for a while, either. A fun read. ”

“Gibson is stunning as always. It's a story about a pair of sunglasses - which proves that Gibson is an absolute master - hell he could make anything interesting. But of course it's about so much more than just sunglasses. It's set in a vivid and interesting world, with an intricate plot. Super stuff.”

“Third in the series--every bit as good a the first. ”

Yes | No“Gibson leaves the hard-edged Sprawl world behind (or rather ahead) and moves back closer to our own time. 2005, imagined from 1993, is a beautiful and dangerous postmodern world in which "modernity is ending" and being replaced by something new, and the wonderful squatter city on the closed-down Oakland bridge (a sort of medieval London Bridge meets farmers market meets third world shantytown) lies at "the new thing's strange heart."”

“ another recent-gibson, featuring heavily the golden gate bridge, which i enjoyed reading because i jogged the golden gate bridge (there and back, ~3 miles) while I was in SF in late july. also i love the bridge- community.”

Soon you find the bridge, there, in incredible detail, fleshed out by your imagination; it almost takes on a life of its own outside the novels.”

“This is one of William Gibsons works that came after the Neuromancer trilogy. William Gibson creates great worlds and writes great places to visit. He can't finish a story to save his life but his books are strong enough to stand up to even that usually fatal flaw. Mush of thebook was borrowed by the Johnny Mnemonic movie, like the bridge.”
