Spook Country is both entertaining and visionary, solidifying his position as the twenty-first century’s primary literary soothsayer.” —VANCOUVER SUN, "A puzzle palace of bewitching proportions and stubborn echoes."-- Los Angeles Times "Arguably the first example of the post-post-9/11 novel, whose characters are tired of being pushed around by forces larger than they are--bureaucracy, history and, always, technology--and are at long last ready to start pushing back."-- The New York Times Book Review   "Like Pynchon and DeLillo, Gibson excels at pinpointing the hidden forces that shape our world."-- Details   "[A] dazed, mournful quality...[An] evocation of post-9/11 displacement, the sense of a world in which nothing seems fixed or reassuring...one of our vital novelists."-- Newsday   "Although wearing the trappings of a thriller, Spook Country is essentially a comedy, albeit a dry, dark, and disturbing one."-- San Francisco Chronicle "A fitful, fast-forward spy tale...It's to Gibson's credit that he weaves his strands of disparate narrators, protagonists and foils, and his panoply of far-forward technology, into a vivid, suspenseful and ultimately coherent tale."-- USA Today "Part thriller, part spy novel, part speculative fiction, Gibson's provocative work is like nothing you have ever read before."-- Library Journal   "Set in the same high-tech present day as Pattern Recognition , Gibson's fine ninth novel offers startling insights into our paranoid and often fragmented postmodern world....Compelling characters and crisp action sequences, plus the author's trademark metaphoric language, help make this one of Gibson's best."-- Publishers Weekly (starred review)   "Gibson excels as usual in creating an off-kilter atmosphere of vague menace."-- Kirkus Reviews  , “A puzzle palace of bewitching proportions and stubborn echoes.â€� — LOS ANGELES TIMES “A devastatingly precise reflection of the American zeitgeist.â€� — WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD “All edge and chill and incipient panic.â€� — CHICAGO TRIBUNE “WILLIAM GIBSON HAS DONE IT AGAIN...

    Spook Country (audio unabridged)

    One of my all time favorite authors is William Gibson, but I am not letting that bias my opinion here. He has moved from the "cyberpunk" genre, which he pioneered, into modern day, alternative fiction recently. Spook County is his latest foray. Picking up in the same time frame as his prior book, Pattern Recognition, Spook County follows the story of an ex-lead singer of a pseudo popular 4 person Goth band, the Curfew. She made and lost her millions and has now turned independent contractor and writer-at-large for a start-up magazine, Node. Following leads so she can write her article, her adventures take her all over, and I mean all over (Japan, Russia, England, Canada and points between) following leads, which I will not get into so I do not spoil the plot.

    Time wasted.
