Synopsis
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.

Industry Reviews
"Compelling characters and crisp action sequences, plus the author's trademark metaphoric language, help make this one of Gibson's best." (starred review)

"More than a post-9/11 novel, [SPOOK COUNTRY] is arguably the first post-post-9/11 novel."
