内容简介
······

William Gibson returns with his first novel since 2010 s" New York Times" bestselling "Zero History."

Where Flynne and her brother, Burton, live, jobs outside the drug business are rare. Fortunately, Burton has his veteran s benefits, for neural damage he suffered from implants during his time in the USMC s elite Haptic Recon force. Then one night Burton has to go out, but there s a job he s supposed to do a job Flynne didn t know he had. Beta-testing part of a new game, he tells her. The job seems to be simple: work a perimeter around the image of a tower building. Little buglike things turn up. He s supposed to get in their way, edge them back. That s all there is to it. He s offering Flynne a good price to take over for him. What she sees, though, isn t what Burton told her to expect. It might be a game, but it might also be murder."

作者简介

威廉.吉布森(William Gibson)

以打字機創作《神經喚術士》(Neuromancer),卻寫下、定義了科幻文學的「電馭叛客」(Cyberpunk)類型,並創造「網路空間」(Cyber Space)一詞,更拿下科幻文學界三大獎:雨果獎、星雲獎與菲利普狄克獎,創下至今無人打破的紀錄,更暢銷六百多萬冊。

在尚且無人理解電腦或虛擬實境的時代,他的小說打造出近未來的驚人景象。除去躍進未來,他更與另一位知名大師布魯斯.史特林(Bruce Sterling)合作,回溯工業革命時電腦的前身,寫下小說《差分機》(The Difference Engine)。至此算是完全奠定他的大師地位。2014年,他跳脫舊系列,以電玩遊戲的背景創作全新小說,以硬派筆法將政治權謀融入懸疑殺人,並放置在一個絕對科幻的架空未來,佐以穿梭時間的情節,讓讀者墜入他筆下炫麗的科幻世界。

威廉.吉布森目前與妻子一同住在溫哥華,至今仍創作不綴,2020將再度推出新作《Agency》,描繪一個希拉蕊當選總統的未來世界。

评论 ······

如果有可能,再也不想用英文读吉布森……神奇的阅读体验,这是真·魂穿文。前三分之一云里雾里,得不断提醒自己“吉布森就这样啊”,坚持到三分之二时,突然有了爽雷感:战斗民族装着致命武器的婴儿车,外面像卡车的移动堡垒放出drone去拿burrito……结局之傻白甜震烁古今,令人目瞪口呆,以至我觉得作者是故意的。但很多优美而古怪的想象,果然只有吉布森可以。最喜欢Parliament of Birds那一节。…

就。。。很难想象会有人因为看这本书废寝忘食不回对家律师的邮件啊。。。

这个作家假如有英语写作障碍,无法把控语言的话可以试试用中文写作。

欣赏不来…文字真的很贫乏…我个人是觉得又长又臭。
