Zero History

Zero History by William Gibson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Once again the master has opened my eyes to a future world that is moments away, and in some cases already here. Gibson's edgy, terse prose keeps the writer focused like a driver in a speeding car. If you blink, you will miss something. I have always found his lack of words and reliance on the reader's awareness to be a fantastic style of writing. You may feel as though you are lost somewhere in the middle (and unless you are in Gibson's mind, you probably Are), but all of the various plot lines come together in the end with such meticulous precision as though Gibson is a neurosurgeon and he is just finishing up rewiring your brain. "Zero History" goes places that are all around us, and shows us a world that most of us would never think to look for.
Bravo, Mr. Gibson. Once again - a novel worthy of the finest collections.
