“One of the most astute and entertaining commentators on our
astonishing, chaotic present.”—The Washington Post Book World
“I forget that in addition to being a major novelist (Zero History,
Neuromancer, 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, Time Entertainment
“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
“Though he’s often lauded as a big-picture man, these pieces make
one thing clear: He’s even better with the little details.”—A.V.
Club
“[Gibson’s] new collection of nonfiction shows that his secret
strong suit is with the here and the now.”—Los Angeles Times
“The most startling pieces here crackle with his excitement at
discovering some unexpected aspect of the new.”—The Globe and Mail
(Canada)
“A breezy, engaging read.”—The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“Potent...elegant prose.”—The Seattle Times
