William Gibson's Zero History



William Gibson is one of my favorite authors, and he doesn't disappoint with Zero History. While far from his best work this book is still a hell of a lot of fun, thoughtful, and it's remarkable that guys like Cory Doctorow, Bruce Sterling and Douglas Coupland helped out. Loved it.
