I think Pattern Recognition and Spook Country are much better than early work such as Count Zero. They also are arguably not science fiction at all, though, so if SF is what you're looking for, they may not be what you want right now. posted a review, of sorts for Spook Country

**hmm, ... ... I might even add that some other science books have become fairly popular, such as Mary Roach's Bonk, Stiff, and Spook. Do you see this as unusual (as do I) and if so, why do you think this is happening now? Any particular zeitgeist? Spook Country - William Gibson. I really did not enjoy the book - it was not exciting enough as a spy thriller, nor were there enough ideas for me to enjoy it as a SF novel. And to spend half the book doing next to nothing is a travesty. 2.5/5. 100:

I'll second that--Pattern Recognition is great. But, I didn't even get through Spook Country once; I just didn't care about those people. I loved PR, though. It started me on a bit of a Gibson reading binge.

But, take William Gibson--Pattern Recognition was fantastic, but I just couldn't force myself to read Spook Country. So, I am not feeling so optimistic about near future stuff, either.

Cold Intimacies: The Making ... Agreed. Though Pattern Recognition is still one of my all time favorite books, I just barely finished Spook Country and I am involved in new technology art. These characters are BORING. Having, at last, finished Spook Country (slightly disappointing) I feel the need for something fast and easily chewable. Thus I now will embark on rereading The naked sun, and I predict that I will post again on this thread VERY soon, announcing another choice - a choice I'm effectively ... ... in the mood for Gibson, but I really liked that one. I cared about those characters right away. So it is definitely Spook Country. I started Spook Country awhile back, but 60 or 70 pages in, I realized I just didn't care about any of the characters. Thinking that maybe I just wasn't in the mood for Gibson, I tried Count Zero next, and I loved that. I really want to like Spook Country--I loved Pattern Recognition, so I ... I made up my mind - when I browsed the shelves I realised that I bought Spook Country some time ago with the intention to read it immediately. So that's what I'm planning to do, albeit a bit late ;-)

I started to read Spook Country, Gibson's latest, and about 60 pages in, I realized that I just didn't care about any of the characters. So, I wondered, am I just not in a Gibson mood, or do I really not like this book? I had Count Zero sitting on my ... ... myself that I would have to read some TBRs first... ;-)

No ... 41. Spook Country-William Gibson ... too, but it's possible to take a facility with them to imply general writing capability, which is not true, I think.
Spook Country is in some sense lighter than Pattern Recognition. I found it much easier to read than any previous Gibson novel. It's not as good (Pattern gets five stars ... You either love this sort of thing or you don't, I suppose.
Me, I LOVED Pattern Recognition; I have Spook Country out of the library, and - on the strength of that review - I'll try to move it up in my queue.
Thanks. Four stars from me, here's my review:
Spook Country by William Gibson
Spook Country is the second book in a trilogy that began with the terrific Pattern Recognition, but the connection is slight and you don't need to have read the first - although you should.
Here the plot is less ... ... I think. It's not that nice, to be honest, but hey, it's free with an accumulated book purchase!
William Gibson's Spook Country seems to be out of stock in most branches, so the titles I picked up since the last time include the following paperbacks:
Newton's Wake by Ken MacLeod ... I am also now reading Spook Country. Don't know if it counts as genre, but it certainly counts as William Gibson - which is OK by me.
The time frame is established on the page before the first text page: it says "February 2006." He did an interview on our local NPR station, and noted that ... I looked at Spook Country this weekend, but couldn't decide whether to buy it or not. I really like him, but I don't know if I am in the mood for him or not. He is too aggressively hipper than everyone else, which gets on my nerves. When I first tried to read him in college, I had to stop. Now ... Just done with William Gibson's Spook Country , liked it, if only for the new concepts or combination of new media Gibson offers in every novel. It's more a thriller than a sf-novel, and well written in Gibson's lyrical style. His earlier work was more provoking to my imagination, I guess the ... ... same books, at nearly the same time.
