Review of 'Agency' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Some beautiful passages but too few and far between

A retread of ideas from NEUROMANCER and THE PERIPHERAL.

I recommend avoiding this book and instead enjoying Gibson’s earlier PATTERN RECOGNITION. This is only for superfans. The dozen poetic gem passages threaded throughout the middle of the book don’t quite make up for the overpopulated, quotidian remainder, like a Downtown Abbey dress rehearsal performed by redditors on the spectrum, endlessly strapping intro nylon duffles, tyvek tarps, and juggling chargers.
