Description: "Gibson pulls off a dazzling trick. Instead of predicting the future, he finds the future all around him, mashed up with the past, and reveals our own domain to us."-- The New York Times Book Review "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 "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
