A review by categal
Agency by William Gibson
4.0
Verity is an app whisperer recruited by a tech start-up to explore and give feedback on an AI interface they have developed. She’s also in hiding from the world after breaking up with her billionaire boyfriend. There are also people from the future trying to stop a nuclear war in Verity’s time. And what about the AI, named Eunice? She’s kicky and has an agenda all her own.
This was a fun romp through San Francisco, London, present day, future. Gibson has a real way with creating absolutely believable futures — the way that self-driving cars and robots have become so normal that they’re boring, and a really fun look at how the future influenced the last election. I only found out after reading this that his earlier book The Peripherals starts this story. Back to the library!
