Count Zero
Count Zero is a novel by William Gibson, a sequel to his groundbreaking work Neuromancer, and second installment in The Sprawl Trilogy. This story, set in the same cyberpunk universe, takes place several years later. In a future where cyberspace and physical reality often intertwine, the narrative unfolds through multiple perspectives including that of Turner, a corporate mercenary; Bobby, a young hacker also known as 'Count Zero'; and Marly, a gallery owner tasked with finding the creator of some profound artworks appearing in the cyberspace. As the story progresses, their lives intersect in a complex, layered narrative that explores themes of technology, artificial intelligence, and corporate espionage, painting a vivid picture of a dystopian world ruled by mega-corporations and artificial intelligences. It's a gripping exploration of a future where the lines between technology and humanity are increasingly blurred. This first edition published by Gollancz, precedes all editions.
