Review of 'Agency' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I've always loved Gibson's writing. His prose is clean, light and immersive. He makes you smell and taste the future. But Agency, like a lot of his later books lacks 'plot oomph'. The real action happens off-stage in the main or when we do see it - like the AI reveal - it fizzles. I miss the real heavy, exciting plots of Count Zero and Neuromancer. But I still enjoy his stuff.
