Count Zero by William Gibson

Then Hosaka Corporation reactivates him, for a mission more dangerous than the one he's recovering from: to get a defecting chief of R&D -- and the biochip he's perfected--out intact. But this proves to be of supreme interest to certain other parties -- some of whom aren't remotely human. Potent and heady. --Philadelphia Daily News An intriguing cast of characters and a tough, glitzy image of computer consciousness and the future of mankind. --Richmond Times-Dispatch Count Zero shares with Neuromancer that novel's stunning use of language, breakneck pacing, technological innovation, and gritty brand-name realism. --Fantasy Review William Gibson's prose, astonishing in its clarity and skill, becomes high-tech electric poetry. --Bruce Sterling Suspense, action.a lively story.a sophisticated version of the sentient computer, a long way from the old models that were simply out to Rule the World. --Locus
