Spooky Countries
Filed Under Written Word
So I just started reading Gibson’s latest book, Spook Country, and while it took a couple of chapters for me to get into it (right around when Blue Ant was mentioned. Oops, was that a spoiler? Suckah!), it’s starting to get interesting. There’s talk of virtual reality never having left, instead it’s evolved into what you’re viewing right now. And then there’s the talk about “the grid”, and how the net has always been more than just what’s on screen, but where you’re sitting right now.
It’s fascinating stuff. I thought Gibson had lost it for the first few chapters. He’s been quick to prove me wrong. More on this when I’m done.
