Like the best among Gibson’s other books, this novel balances thrills with speculation about the future and thoughts about where we are now. In this novel, Gibson considers ecological catastrophe, class struggle, veterans’ lives, the influence of megacorporations, and the decreasing importance of national borders and identity alongside a plot involving alternate realities, organized crime, and dangerous nanorobots. In short, it’s both fun and scary as hell, and feels relevant even when it’s speculative or unrealistic.
