It would have been a vastly superior book if Gibson had spent less time on Twitter and Google Maps as he was writing it.
This is a fantastic sequel to Gibson's The Peripheral.
Set in a different time period but with some of the same characters showing back up in this one.
These books are a little bit difficult to follow because you're just thrown in with no explanation of anything, but once you get to know the characters and the general concepts the characters are dealing with (alternate reality “stubs”, peripherals, and the like).
Really looking forward to #3 in the series.
So far, this is my favorite WGibson work since the Sprawl series, which I re-read just a couple of years ago.
Yeah, shrugging, I don't know. Not bad, not super great either. A solid read, with a nice story and that's it. Very likely I will forget everything in a view months I like I completely forgot about the first book.
If there is nothing else to read, then yes, else put it back for some other time
Breakneck thriller pace, as Gibson does, nobody knows quite what's going on but goes with it. Time travelish, fancy AI, hipster coffee, motorcycle rides, and saving the world - obliquely.
