Anyone else read Gibson's Zero History? Just finished it and thought it was much better than Spook Country but still no where as good as Pattern Recognition. →[More:]I love the way that he treats the current real world like it was a foreign science fiction world (which is sort of is). The plot isn't really all that compelling and the characters are interesting but not all that deep but the way that he describes the world of 2010 is illuminating. Usually contemporary fiction is set in a sort of hazy "now" that could be any time in the fifteen years before it was written but his last three books are so exactly right in the moment that you feel like you're peering at our real world from the past and marveling at the sci-fi gadgets like iPhones and Twitter.
