Gibson as a suspense writer.

Virtual Light is not in the same hardcore cyberpunk category of Neuromancer. It is much more a suspense/action thriller set in a fragmented California of the 21st century. Gibson creates 21st century jargon and pulls you into the future in just a few pages. I found the book as fascinating as I found it entertaining.

gibson's best

here is gibson getting out of his neuromancer series' rut (everything was a slow downhill after neuromancer). wholly different, its more like fiction written in the future than like fiction written about the future. he doesn't stop to explain every little new piece of technology nor does he condescend to make every new thing some political statement about the present. his most engrossing book yet.
