Little I Can Add...

I am an old duck with about 65 years of Science Fiction under my belt (and a shape that looks it). I had to stick a toe into this new puddle of "cyberpunk" that William Gibson is accused of starting. I had a hard time getting on board the train. But after a while I realized that it wasn't just his style that was hard to follow but that he was deliberately making things difficult by witholding important bits of information that gradually trickled into the story. Reading got faster and much more enjoyable. By mid book I was roaring along salivating for more. I exoerienced the feeling often noted by others that you just HAVE to read more about these people. Yup, if all science fiction were anywhere near this good I would not be able to read anything else. Bravo, Mr. Gibson!

fascinating/absolutey worth reading.

I had never read a Gibson book, and do not read sci-fi novels. I really enjoyed this book and found it both intellectually engaging and suspenseful. Especially interesting was the language and sentence structure. The language was both modern and beautiful. I have read many modern novels with "hip" use of language but they usually come out rather gritty-sounding, whereas Gibson uses a voice that is both modern in its efficiency and graceful at the same time.

the future is already here

A beautiful capturing of today as science fiction. Extrapolation zero - we're already here.






Amazingish...

I really did like this book. It was a little boring at first but once you get into it, it is hard to put down.

A Virtual Thriller With Virtually No Thrills

The protagonist is interesting, the plot less so. The author knows his stuff where personal communication technology and, to a lesser degree, marketing communications are concerned. But the novel remains a somewhat lukewarm love story in "cyberthriller" clothes.
