THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING NOVEL FROM WILLIAM GIBSON, THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF NEUROMANCER—–San Francisco, 2017. Clinton s in the White House, Brexit never happened – and Verity Jane s got herself a new job. They call Verity the app-whisperer, and she s just been hired to evaluate a pair-of-glasses-cum-digital-assistant called Eunice… Only Eunice has other ideas. Pretty soon, Verity realises that Eunice is smarter than anyone she s ever met. Which is just as well since suddenly some very bad people are after Verity. Meanwhile, in a post-apocalyptic London a century from now, PR fixer Wilf Netherton is tasked with interfering in the alternative past in which Verity and Eunice exist. It appears something nasty is about to happen there – and fixing it will require not only Eunice s unique human-AI skillset but also a little help from the future. A future that Verity fears may never be . . . —– Dazzling, astoundingly inventive The Times Wild, richly satisfying Guardian Terrific Spectator Rattles along with great pace and suspense Sunday Times One of our greatest science-fiction writers New York Times A sensual, remarkably visual ride Guardian Among our most fascinating novelists Daily Telegraph; 416 pages; 07 01 2021
