Fulfills my belief that all great artists have one great work in them, and everything else they do is just more of the same. You might think that all stars are different, but they are all heat and light. I can't be too critical, because I am stupid, but I imagine that this author could burn my eyes out if he wanted to and I look forward to the day.
Count Zero is part of the Sprawl Trilogy by William Gibson. This is cutting edge science fiction. Expertly woven by a master of the genre in his prime. Arguably some most influential contemporary Sci Fy written thus far. Count Zero is a breathless trip of corporate espionage, filtered through a cyberpunk fever dream. Calling all console cowboys to Jack in to the Matrix!
