Whoever wrote that obviously forgot to consider the vastnesses of the human imagination. I once read somewhere that the last frontiers left were the depths of space and the depths of the sea. William Gibson's meditations on what it means to be human in an age of thinking and perhaps even feeling machines never fail to awe me. And you know what else? I'd also like to just briefly pay homage to a man who is beyond argument one of the greatest writers of science fiction who ever lived. But I digress.īefore going on to say some nice things about “Agency” in particular, I would first like to thank William Gibson and his publisher, Berkley, for producing such an excellent novel. However, that's not to say you shouldn't read “The Peripheral.” On the contrary, it is my opinion that you should read all the William Gibson novels you can.
It's not necessary that you do to enjoy the sequel and subject of this review, “Agency.” It is one of William Gibson's great talents that he is able to tell stories that interlock but do not rely on each other for background. If you haven't read “The Peripheral,” don't worry.
