its neuromancer 2

Its interesting to see gibson circle back on his hit - this is very similar to neuromancer, but more grounded, and somehow set last year, or a few years ago even.

There is a minor grandpa vibes developing too. I don't think gibsons politics are bad, they just feel more visibly centrist than they were in the past.

Review of 'Agency' on 'Goodreads'

I gave up on this midway through the book.
I'm not sure what exactly it was, but the number of characters, short chapters, silly amount of unlikely technologies and time travel did play havoc with my attention span.
