William Gibson

In a near-future San Francisco, app tester Verity Jane is hired to evaluate an enigmatic artificial intelligence whose abilities far exceed anything its creators anticipated. As the technology draws the attention of powerful corporations, shadowy operatives, and forces from a radically altered timeline, Verity finds herself caught in a struggle over who will shape the future. Blending cyberpunk intrigue with sharp observations about technology, politics, surveillance, and human connection, the novel explores how fragile reality can become when innovation outruns control. William Gibson’s characteristically stylish, prescient prose delivers a tense and thought-provoking vision of parallel possibilities and emerging intelligence.
