Gibson's Zero History

Zero History by William Gibson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Gibson at his strongest yet, and his least science fiction. If anything, he's a writer of cultural thrillers, where the action is perched on the edge of a precipice created by the intersecting trajectories of technology, fashion, media, and culture. This is a part of the now that the reader can only guess at, because it happens in a lofty place where individual players only know their roles in a vast web of tangled concepts and goals. The reader isn't fully satisfied, but neither are the characters, who feel very alive, yet at times materialize out of a fog.

Best. Part of. Thanksgiving.

Listening to Big Black's "songs about fucking" while waiting for family and friends to finish spinning near the beach in Florida.

Thanksgiving

November hasn't been what I had hoped for, but there are always things to be thankful for, and a good old Feldman family recharge sounds nice.  I need it emotionally. Hate saying that, but it is true.
