It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are.

Set in a post-September 11 time period, this novel does a great job of setting an anxious mood. Everybody is suspicious of everyone else. Many are spying on each other or wondering who is spying upon them. Other than that, there are relatively few bursts of action and even fewer well-turned phrases (which is what originally attracted me to Gibson's work.) If you can endure the quivering mood long enough, you will be rewarded a couple of times.

Superbly creepy beginning, with expert plotting taking one through to the satisfying, though surprisingly quiet, finale. Excellent character studies, lively, detailed images of American urban scenes, and fascinating just-around-the-corner tech. Gibson's commentary on our current social trends gets steadily better as it hits closer to home.
