Ideal for readers who enjoy immersive, fast-paced cyberpunk with complex, character-focused narratives.

About the Book

Three separate storylines converge in Gibson's second Sprawl novel: a young hacker who survives an impossible situation, a corporate art dealer hired to locate a missing researcher, and a mercenary protecting a woman fleeing a powerful corporation. The novel deepens the world of Neuromancer with new perspectives on corporate power, artificial intelligence, and voodoo mythology in cyberspace. Richer and more structurally complex than its predecessor.
