Book Reviews of Count Zero
Book Review: Brilliant mindscapes, a cornucopia of scenes and characters.
Summary: 5 Stars
Count Zero is one of three novels that set Gibson a world apart from most of us authors. He is one man whose praise I am happy to sing. Reading this novel and some of his other works got me through more than five years of suicidal depression due to a failing marriage. Ironically, the tone of these novels is often less than happy, and certainly far from perfect, as in this... life is largely risk and disappointment, met with occasional moments of glory.
The angst, hopelessness, humor, and endurance of his characters felt so real that I could identify with them. These are like real people walking on pages. Each scene is so alive that you find yourself looking around Los Angeles, New York, or Tokyo trying to find the settings. This novel gives one a feel like no other, as though you're living it while you read.
The console cowboys of Count Zero are as alien to any of us as a real alien would be, and yet we find ourselves drawn into the corporate hacker culture as readily as a puppy to liver. Gibson makes it all accessible, understandable, and impossible to stop reading.
