    Freedom
  

*by G***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2020*

Let’s just get this out of the way. There’s a particular review that was put up the day the book was released where it’s  clear the reviewer was triggered by the book and wrote a review, having not actually finished the book but got so mad at Gibson for talking about what’s wrong and right.Anyone surprised by the political tone of this book—kleptocracy baaa’d—either hasn’t read Gibson before or hasn’t thought that one of the main themes in his books has always been: Money and the consequences of extreme wealth. You don’t need to be Einstein to realize Neuromancer was as deeply political about economics as much as it was about technology. Almost all his book have these themes. This book is where he is most explicit about it. If you’re surprised that Gibson has a different political opinion than you do, you may want to pause and consider that one of the most prescient writers of the future and near-future is very much saying what is currently going on is deeply wrong.What this book in particular is very much about is Freedom-agency to choose one’s path.I will say it may not be Gibson’s best book but I think it’s his most effective at capturing a certain sense of the future that a lot of people are feeling right now. And that is worth something. It’s a quick read. Enjoy. Think of what might have been. Also think: what if we’re in a stub?Feb 22.2020 Addendum: now that that awful Troll of a review has been removed or deleted, hopefully, in time, a much better review than mine will be the top review

    A thought-provoking thrill-ride through an unevenly distributed future
  

*by E***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2020*

William Gibson notices things others miss. While his science fiction novels are often described as prescient, what defines Gibson’s body of work is the extraordinary refinement of his focus on the present. By exploring the ragged edges of things, Gibson consistently manages to shed new light on the strange world we inhabit—coining terms like “cyberspace” and making oft-repeated observations like “The future is already here—it's just not evenly distributed.”In Agency, the future is very unevenly distributed. The book weaves together three interacting storylines: the first is set in an alternative 2017 San Francisco where—among other things—Trump didn’t become president, the second in an apocalyptic American South that may or may not be in the process of renewal, and the third in a high-tech, post-apocalyptic 22nd century London—all of which evolve along their own independent timelines even as they indirectly influence each other. The characters, plot, and world are kinetic—spinning off ideas as they hurtle into something new. The story grapples with literally revisionist histories, the branching, unpredictable nature of all the possible futures that splay out from the fulcrum of our present, and just how difficult it is to achieve “agency” in a culture spiraling out of control. Agency reflects how aggressively weird life has become as we embark on the century’s third decade. Reading it feels like gazing into our collective Instagram feed, sans filter.

    A Diorama of His Better Works, the Glue isn’t Dry
  

*by K***G on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2020*

I’m profoundly disappointed. I feel as though this is a hodge podge of other successful Gibson plot elements: All Tomorrow’s Parties sunglasses, Neuromancer’s AI, Blue Ant’s protagonist now named Verity whose uncanny sense is now for tech, the vaguely ominous but startlingly empathic and efficient characters from Peripheral all glued into a weak, superficial, fast narrative. This isn’t even a meaningful imagining of an alt-Trump America: the unnamed female president appears in a couple of sentences like a paper cutout waving in the breeze, half seen and then gone. Eunice, arguably the most intriguing character, well.... there ain’t enough of her in this book. At one point, the characters idly discuss the nature of “stubs,” these captioned pasts that weren’t until they abruptly ARE, while racing to their next banal assignation; as if alternative realities are no more exciting than Japanese denim sales, OS upgrades, or mummy bags. Certainly the protagonist handles the complete reinvention of all she has ever understood the universe to mean with aplomb, even ennui.Ugh. Go back and read the Bridge or the Blue Ant trilogy, still vibrating with prophetic beauty and inspiring technology. Give this a pass.
