Set in the same vaguely sci-fi present world as PATTERN RECOGNITION, William Gibson`s ninth novel stars Henry Hollis, a journalist researching a virtual reality art form. His trail leads him into an international intrigue involving the CIA, a Chinese-Cuban criminal, and a technological mystery involving a Global Positioning expert. Gibson (who coined the term cyberspace in his sci-fi masterpiece NEUROMANCER) presents a paranoid dream of the world that feels simultaneously outlandish and prescient. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
