cabble 's review for:
Count Zero
by William Gibson
The three strands that make up Count Zero are individually compelling and well paced and for nearly 200 pages I was enjoying them as separate stories before I started to wonder what the connecting thread was, especially when I realised there was less than a third of the book left. I should've had more faith, when the penny finally dropped shortly after the three stories pulled together at a rapid pace and rushed for the finish, which good, didn't quite deliver the satisfaction the rest of the book did (I had a similar experience with Neuromancer).
I think one of the real joys of reading this book was getting lost in the jargon, the ideas and concepts that Gibson's world presents which from the vantage of our modern world, looks like a very possible reality if only technology had developed differently from our timeline.
