“Engaging, thought-provoking and delightful… [Gibson] can always be
counted on to show us our contemporary milieu rendered magical by
his unique insights, and a future rendered inhabitable by his wild
yet disciplined imagination.”—The Washington Post
“Superb... Each sentence is a hand-turned marvel of compact
characterization, world-building and sardonic wit, all used to
illuminate his vivid milieus…Gibson has an inexhaustible supply of
tricks, new stories and new ways of telling them that make him the
most consistent predictor of our present, contextualizer of our
pasts and presager of our possible futures.”—Los Angeles Times
“An immersive thriller, fueled by an intelligent, empathetic
imagination.”—The Boston Globe
“A sensual, remarkably visual ride, vigorous with displays of
conceptual imagination and humour.” —The
Guardian (UK)
“Gibson blurs the line between real and speculative technology in a
fast-paced thriller that will affirm to readers that it was well
worth the wait.”—Booklist
“His language (half Appalachian economy, half leather-jacket poet
of neon and decay) is all about friction and the gray spaces where
disparate ideas intersect. His game is living in those spaces,
checking out the view, telling us about it.” – NPR.org
“In Agency Gibson offers another of his uncannily plausible
imaginings of near-future life and technology…with Gibson’s
trademark panache, the story rattles along with great pace and
suspense.” –The Sunday Times (UK)
