Awesome. I had a hard time getting into it at first (the first quarter was a little slow), but about half way in remembered why Gibson is such a great cyberpunk author.

A good example of why I keep coming back to speculative sci-fi—fun, gripping, surprisingly prophetic, and all with a satisfying (if not entirely earned) resolution

Now this is real Gibson, really reminiscent of true cyberpunk & fresh in colloquial ways that make it a delight to read even after 18 years.

I don't know if it because I have recently read two of his other novels. But I found the entire book very predictable and unoriginal when compared with his other works. Pattern Recognition and Idoru are heavily similar. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. I choose this because I enjoy Gibson. It just wasn't as special as previous ones.
