Now that the present has caught up with William Gibson's vision of the future, which made him the most influential science fiction writer of the past quarter century, he has started writing about a time - our time - in which everyday life feels like science fiction With his previous novel, Pattern Recognition, the challenge of writing about the present-day оеющп world drove him to create perhaps his best novel yet, and in "Spook Country" he remains at the top of his game It's a stripped-down thriller that reads like the best DeLillo (or the best Gibson), with the lives of a half-dozen evocative characters connected by a tightly converging plot and by the general senses of unease and wonder in our networked, post-9/11 time Автор Уильям Гибсон William Gibson Родился в городе Конвей, штат Южная Каролина В 1968 году, отказавшись от призыва, эмигрировал в Канаду, где жил сначала в Торонто, а с 1972 года - в Ванкувере Дебютная публикация - рассказ "Осколки голографической розы" (1977) В первой половине.  CatheriИздательство: Putnam Adult, 2007 г Твердый переплет, 384 стр ISBN 978-0399154300, 0399154302 Язык: Английский.
