A review by elctrc
Agency by William Gibson

2.0

This one was a bummer. I loved the Peripheral and re-read it before Agency but the sequel was not great. It had the most of the characters from the first book but none of the interesting story or background. It was like seeing their everyday lives and all the boredom that exists there. Without giving anything away part of the central conceit just gets lost for half of the book and doesn't return until the very end and as has become typical for Gibson he tries to wrap everything in a bow and it just doesn't work well. for me part of the problem is probably the ending of the Peripheral itself which also ends with a bow tied super tight and just didn't leave anywhere for this book to go I think.
