A somewhat satisfying conclusion to the Sprawl trilogy. Unlike in the second installment, we're introduced to new characters that harmonize much more cohesively with the overall plot. I still feel a sort of lacking and waste of potential with the ideas that budded in the previous two stories, but I'm relieved to delve again into cyberspace and the sci-fi scenery that I loved in Neuromancer and which Gibson seemingly neglects in Count Zero.
