Agency by William Gibson
3.0
Good story, but weird as Gibson stories always seem to be. It's a time travel story (but not really), it's a story about artificial intelligence (maybe), it might be about a nuclear war or maybe about imminent global climate collapse but it's mostly about the protagonist, Verity Jane getting driven around (sometimes literally) to witness the plot happening (she doesn't seem to have a lot of her own agency).
Given when this book was first supposed to come out (2015) and when it finally come out (2020) and how the book isn't quite set in our world, I'd really like to have seen what the first drafts of this looked like before the post-2016 cognitive dissonance set in.
