What happened to Gibson? The premise seemed interesting but the execution is poor. The resolution is completely unsatisfactory. The crux of the book, the fact-finding of a particular piece of information, is not even done by the character in the book ,but is simply handed to her in exchange for a favor. The suspenion of reality is fine, but at least provide a better resolution. THe main character is just fed info, like a computer and she reacts to it. There was no self-discovery or interesting explanations. IT was awful. Read Neuromancer, much better. or cryptonomicon by neal stephenson.
