Spook Country by William Gibson
Moxie's review
rating:
I haven't read William Gibson since those weirdo books that followed the "bridge series." So I missed "Pattern Recognition." My reactions to his final few sci-fi books were "please... just stop."
But I decided to give Spook Country a try, and I was actually pleasantly surprised. It turns out that we live in a postmodern enough world for Gibson to write a novel that touches on all his favorite sci-fi themes, but is set in the present. It's an entertaining enough story, and he's able to comment on the present state of the world by (for once) writing about the present state of the world.
