DESCRIPTION:
. Gibson leads readers on a wild adventure that encompasses fashion, the military-industrial complex, viral marketing, behavioral anthropology, addiction, and even base jumping, weaving all of these distinctive threads into a satisfyingly cohesive whole. Hailed as the funniest and lightest of Gibson's books to date, Zero History stands well alone, but readers already familiar with the series' previous titles will find this last installment much more rewarding. From Bookmarks Magazine Another smartly scouted roadmap of alternate routes through today's global culture, applauded the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and the other critics agreed. A couple reviewers cited some implausible plot twists and exaggerated characters, but most praised Gibson's increased focus
Unabridged, 9 CDs, 11 hours Read by TBA William Gibson's first new novel since Spook Country.
Easily the worst part of this book is the character's L_T Easily the worst part of this book is the character's stubborn refusal to be even slightly pleased with anything. The characters come across as nothing more than wealthy hipsters traipsing about London and Paris with unlimited bank accounts. Even without financial stress or the real drive to get *anything* done, they still seem deeply unhappy with just about everything. By the end of the book it's pretty grating.. Gibson at his best Don't give out 5 stars for published reviews,but this was close. Starts out slow,building,building and then the last quarter accelerates rapidly and the chase is afoot as they say. Rereading it for the 'nth time I am still moved by the grace and beauty of Gibson's writing. Along with a very few other gifted authors like le Carre he shows what the English language is capable of in the right hands. Possibly the best book Gibson . Cody Polega said Gibson is as good and gritty as ever!. His style is one of a kind. He has a unique way of of immersing the reader in the worlds he creates.These worlds feel uniquely real and poignant.Gibson always as something relevant to say about our culture, and always leaves you thinking.
