( )Probably my favorite Gibson: This is probably my favorite Gibson. I feel it to have his strongest character development, which is something that has never been his strong point. This is was his peak before he did the awful Virtual Light. Probably best read in quick succession after the first two novels, but a worthy end to the trilogy. Molly/Sally from Neuromancer and the Count from Count Zero are brought together in a tangled plot involving 3Jane. Gibson fills the story with eccentric characters and intriguing predictions of future technology, but as always, the punchy, thoughtful writing is what carries the action. A well-plotted page turner about a simstar, some AI and yakuza interwoven in a way that takes a long time to become apparent. Although some of it never really does. Having read Neuromancer, Burning Chrome and Count Zero about 15 years ago reading this was a fantastic journey back into that world. It's an excellent book but I very much suggest reading the other two as well. And don't leave 15 years between them. no reviews | add a review
