Spook Country is William Gibson‘s first new novel in four years. It comes out next week, so I pre-ordered my copy yesterday. It is set in the present day like his last novel, Pattern Recognition which I recommend. A few years ago I re-read his seminal cyberpunk thriller Neuromancer and hope to do the same for his other novels. Thing is, I may have to interrupt my current reading of the complete Harry Potter series (I’m halfway through book 3 right now), since I always find Gibson’s novels un-put-down-able.
