Originally printed in publications as varied as <i>Wired</i>, the <i>New York Times</i>, and the <i>Observer</i>, these articles and essays cover thirty years of thoughtful, observant life, and are reported in the wry, humane voice that lovers of Gibson have come to crave.</p> <p><b>“Gibson pulls off a dazzling trick. Instead of predicting the future, he finds the future all around him, mashed up with the past, and reveals our own domain to us.”—<i>The New York Times Book Review </i> </b>“One of the most astute and entertaining commentators on our astonishing, chaotic present.”—<i>The Washington Post Book World</i><br />  <br />“I forget that in addition to being a major novelist (<i>Zero History,</i> <i>Neuromancer</i>, etc.), he’s one of the best essayists and critical observers currently operating within our sociocultural sphere. This is his first essay collection, and it’s messed up how good it is: raw, weird, honest, smart.”—Lev Grossman, <i>Time Entertainment </i></p> <p>“Exquisitely written, done to a turn with both insight and that unmistakable prose that is just shy of spectacular….This is a fine and even essential complement to the Gibson canon, and a delight to read.”—BoingBoing.net </p> <p>“Though he’s often lauded as a big-picture man, these pieces make one thing clear: He’s even better with the little details.”—<i>A.V. Club</i> </p> <p>“[Gibson’s] new collection of nonfiction shows that his secret strong suit is with the here and the now.”—<i>Los Angeles Times</i></p> <p>“The most startling pieces here crackle with his excitement at discovering some unexpected aspect of the new.”—<i>The Globe and Mail</i> (Canada) </p> <p>“A breezy, engaging read.”—<i>The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel </i></p> <p>“Potent…elegant prose.”—<i>The Seattle Times</i><b>William Gibson</b>’s first novel, <i>Neuromancer</i>, won the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award, and the Philip K. Dick Award. He is the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Count Zero</i>, <i>Burning Chrome</i>, <i>Mona Lisa Overdrive</i>, <i>Virtual Light</i>, <i>Idoru</i>, <i>All Tomorrow’s Parties</i>, <i>Pattern Recognition</i>, <i>Spook Country</i>, <i>Zero History</i>, <i>Distrust That Particular Flavor</i>, and <i>The Peripheral</i>.
