Description
About the Book
For the first time in trade paperback comes the "New York Times" bestselling author's second novel, "a sophisticated version of the sentient computer" ("Locus").Book Synopsis
William Gibson continues the visionary Sprawl Trilogy that began with Neuromancer in this frighteningly probable parable of the future. A corporate mercenary wakes in a reconstructed body, a beautiful woman by his side. Then Hosaka Corporation reactivates him, for a mission more dangerous than the one he's recovering from: to get a defecting chief of R&D--and the biochip he's perfected--out intact. But this proves to be of supreme interest to certain other parties--some of whom aren't remotely human....Review Quotes
"Potent and heady."--Philadelphia Daily News "An intriguing cast of characters and a tough, glitzy image of computer consciousness and the future of mankind."--Richmond Times-Dispatch "Count Zero shares with Neuromancer that novel's stunning use of language, breakneck pacing, technological innovation, and gritty brand-name realism."--Fantasy Review "William Gibson's prose, astonishing in its clarity and skill, becomes high-tech electric poetry."--Bruce Sterling "Suspense, action...a lively story...a sophisticated version of the sentient computer, a long way from the old models that were simply out to Rule the World."--Locus
