I like Gibsons writing. This book took me a little while to get into, but by the time I did I found it an absorbing read. It is quite a departure from what I consider his normal work, being set more or less in current time. It follows the life of Cayce Pollard and her attempts to find the creator of a work of art being posted piecemeal on the internet. It is full of paranoia and digs at modern marketing methods.
What really got me into it though, was the description of her few days in Tokyo, which pretty much captured the feelings I had in the first few days I was there, but expressed it way better than I ever could.
Who should read this book? Everyone. Especially if you like Gibson.
