Even though the whole Sprawl-trilogy oozes cool like a polygon Lambo, it is by no means a breeze to read. By book three, it seems Gibson is aware of this, as he lets one of his characters note: "[...] once Gentry got going, he used words and constructions that Slick had trouble understanding, [...] the trick was in pulling some kind of meaning out of the overall flow." The self-awareness also reflects in a later quote: "The world hadn't ever had so many moving parts or so few labels." That said, and despite Gibson introducing different narratives in Count Zero and Mona Lisa Ovredrive (which is a good thing), the cyberpunk extravaganza does get easier to follow in these later books, as the author skillfully weaves the strands together, culminating in a nice apotheosis for the series.

I did a terrible job reading Count Zero. This time I slowed way down and enjoyed myself. Took a while, but at least I understood more than 1/4 of the book. :)

The ghost was her father's parting gift, presented by a black-clad secretary in a departure lounge at Narita.. Mona is a young girl with a murky past and an uncertain future whose life is turned upside down when her pimp sells her to a plastic surgeon in New York and overnight she's turned into someone else. Angie Mitchell is a famous Hollywood Sense/Net star with a special talent. And despite the efforts of studio bosses to keep her in ignorance, Angie's started remembering things. Soon she'll discover who she really is . . . and why she doesn't need a deck in order to enter cyberspace. From inside the matrix, plots are set in motion and human beings are being played like pieces on a board. And behind the intrigue lurks the shadowy Yazuka, the powerful Japanese underworld, whose leaders ruthlessly manipulate people and events to suit their own purposes. Or so they think . . .

Gibson revisits the Cyberpunk future he created in his Necromancer and Count Space, a future of world-dominating, multi-national corporations, the vast computer-generated world of cyberspace, and high-tech outlaws using both to their advantage.
