A different sport
My review of the new William Gibson novel Spook Country is out this week in Boston's alternative arts and entertainment magazine The Weekly Dig.
Summary of the book: it's a good read, dark and strange and almost the textbook definition of slipstream as defined in the original Sterling essay. If I were writing a blurb, I'd say it's sort of like Kelly Link went out to dinner with Tom Clancy and their hands met reaching for the check.
