Spook Country

Hollis Henry is a journalist, on assignment from a magazine called Node. Node doesn?t exist yet, but it seems to be actively preventing the kind of buzz that magazines normally try to cultivate. That would be odd, and even a little scary, but she can?t afford to think about it. Tito is in his early twenties. His family came from Cuba. He speaks fluent Russian, lives in one room in a warehouse in Manhattan, and does delicate jobs involving information transfer. Milgrim is a high-end junkie, hooked on prescription anti-anxiety drugs. He figures he wouldn?t survive if Brown, the mystery man who saved him from a misunderstanding with his dealer, ever stopped supplying the little bubble-packs. What Brown is up to, Milgrim can?t say. It seems to be military. Bobby Chombo is a?producer.? In his day job Bobby is a troubleshooter for military navigation equipment. He refuses to sleep in the same place twice. He meets no one. Hollis Henry has been told to find him.

  • "Science fiction. Set in the same vaguely sci-fi present world as PATTERN RECOGNITION, William Gibson's ninth novel stars Henry Hollis, a journalist researching a virtual reality art form. His trail leads him into an international intrigue involving the CIA, a Chinese-Cuban criminal, and a technological mystery involving a Global Positioning expert. Gibson (who coined the term "cyberspace" in his sci-fi masterpiece NEUROMANCER) presents a paranoid dream of the world that feels simultaneously outlandish and prescient."@en
  • "Hollis Henry is a journalist, an investigative assignment from a magazine called Node. It doesn't exist yet, which is fine, she's used to that, but it seems to be actively preventing the kind of buzz that magazines normally cultivate before they begin to exist. That would be odd, and even a little scary, if Hollis allowed herself to think about it much, which she can't afford to do. Tito is in his early twenties. His family came from Cuba. He speaks fluent Russian, lives in one room in a warehouse in Manhattan, and does delicate jobs involving information transfer. Milrim is a high-end junkie, hooked on prescription antianxiety drugs. He figures he wouldn't survive twenty-four hours if Brown, the mystery man who saved him from a misunderstanding with his dealer, ever stopped supplying the little bubble-packs. What Brown is up to, Milgrim can't say. It seems to be military - at least, Milgrim's very nuanced Russian is a big part of it, as is breaking into locked rooms. Bobby Chambo is a 'producer'. In his day job Bobby is a troubleshooter for military navigation equipment. He refuses to sleep in the same place twice. He meets no one. Hollis Henry has been told to find him."

  • "The "cool and scary"( SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE) NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Hollis Henry is a journalist on investigative assignment for a magazine called Node, which doesn't exist yet. Bobby Chombo apparently does exist, as a producer. But in his day job, Bobby is a troubleshooter for military navigation equipment. He refuses to sleep in the same place twice. He meets no one.

  • "Told from three third-person perspectives, the story concerns a journalist backed by a mysterious Belgian industrialist, a young Cuban-Chinese go-to guy from a secretive clan of criminals, and a junkie fluent in Russian, who get caught up in a search for a mysterious shipping container. Gibson reinvents the concept he made famous in his landmark SF novel, Neuromancer-i.e., cyberspace-creating a more nuanced and up-to-date relationship between the virtual and the real."
  • "Multilingüe Tito se dedica a las transferencias de la información sensible de su apartamento de una sola habitación, mientras que el periodista Hollis trastes en su revista de puesta en marcha de bloqueo aparente de sus propias promociones, y la prescripción drogadicto Milgrim se pregunta sobre las conexiones militares de un benefactor enigmático."
