### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A bonified Classic...
*by S***E on February 5, 2013*

Count Zero is a worthy sequel to "Neuromancer", and is one of those rare works (with its siblings) that seems almost (but not quite) prophetic. Gibson's world is similar to ours in oh so many ways, and the corollaries between the Internet of today and his vision of cyberspace in 1987 are astonishing. One has to wonder if the names of the nations/corporations were just changed a bit, and the dates were just shifted a bit into the future...whether we are getting closer to Gibson's grim and dystopian future? (So maybe it is prophetic after all?)This book is really about introducing "The Count" himself, and describing the events that shaped him for the concluding book of this trilogy: "Mona Lisa Overdrive". The world is fleshed out a bit, and the reader is treated to the unending complexity of Gibson's world. This, like the other two books in the series are fascinating and in many ways plausible look at how the world _might_ end up. Although this truly is a setup book, don't let that dissuade you, the characters are awesome, and the story is engaging.I recall reading this years ago, perhaps about the time it appeared on the bookshelves the first time, and being fascinated with it. Now, with 25+ years between its' publishing and today, it still manages to capture my attention and interest. Gibson is one of those writers who can write stories about characters and technology in such a way that while central to the story the technology doesn't overwhelm the characters and is abstract enough that even 25 years after he penned the book, it doesn't feel dated or implausible, just different.In this, "Neuromancer" "Count Zero" & "Mona Lisa Overdrive" remind me of E.E. "Doc" Smith's Lensman Novels where starships are flown with banks of Levers, Valves and Inertial Navigation systems, or even the great Isaac Asimov's Foundation books, where "Atomics" rule the day. Even though the technology in their works is dated or even absurd, the stories still stand and are considered classics. So too "Neuromancer", "Count Zero" & "Mona Lisa Overdrive" where I think you'll find that the concept of a [Cyber] Deck isn't so far different from modern tablets, cell phones & PC's after all...and Cyberspace absolutely reeks of the modern Internet (aka Cyberspace!). Even without that easy correlation however, like Asimov & Smith, Gibson's books are bonified classics.On top of that, "Neuromancer", "Count Zero" & "Mona Lisa Overdrive" are THE books that began the entire Cyberpunk genre/meme. How cool is that?"Count Zero" is a book I consider a staple of my collection of great Science Fiction. For me, it and its' siblings stand proudly among my collection of Asimov, Foster, Anderson, Anthony, Pohl, Banks, Bova, Smith, Heinlein, Dickson and many others.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Three points of view threaded together
*by C***R on January 23, 2025*

It can be very interesting to see 3 different perspectives moving through the same story, which Gibson has done well to curate into a cohesive narrative, though it can feel a bit disjointed at times, as well. Gibson, much like Neuromancer, is happy to throw you into the deep end of terminology and facsimiles that can take you a moment to decode before moving on, but eventually you get a handle on how characters speak, and the slang they use.A great book to read, though maybe not as high a point as the first book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our Incredibly Detailed Future…from Our Past
*by J***K on December 2, 2024*

Reading this book is like living an unbelievably dangerous yet fascinating life in some future that contains every past. And your senses are, every one of them, turned to 11 on a scale of 10. Sure there’s tech—the metaverse, you know—but what dominates is every detail of the many, diverse lives, all entangled, as in a vast web, made to move by a wannabe all-powerful entity seeking transcendence from a chaos of cells to an infinity of charge. Remember to breathe!
