A hacker has pissed off his former employers who and has one last chance to save himself.
review:
Gibson creates a fascinating world of equal parts technology, science and violence. Well written, using language that is a bit beyond your average reader, I found it very enjoyable. I also like that Gibson explains science but not it too complected of a way, I find really really technical sci-fi a bit too much but this was not that. This is an entertaining read while still feeling a bit intellectual, with a great story and characters I loved to hate. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys science fiction in any form.
8/10

"Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts... A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding..."
"His eyes were eggs of unstable crystal, vibrating with a frequency whose name was rain and the sound of trains, suddenly sprouting a humming forest of hair-fine glass spines."
"His teeth sang in their individual sockets like tuning forks, each one pitch-perfect and clear as ethanol."
If you enjoyed this I recommend:
Neal Stephenson
more William Gibson
Robert J Sawyer
