The last Gibson I read was Virtual Light.

This isn't a cyberpunk novel. At least not strictly. I think we have to realise that it was 20 years ago when Gibson first wrote Neuromancer. Gibson is writing in a shadow of that future he first created. Ours.

His protagonist, Cayce, is a cool-hunter. She determines what is new and upcoming, whether something works or doesn't. She has an physical aversion to particular logos, which may explain how she does her job so well. We follow her around the world as she unravels the mystery surrounding "the footage". The footage has attracted a cult net following. A series of short images and film. No one knows where it comes from. What it means. Who is making it. Whether it is part of a larger complete work, or a work in progress. It's up to Cayce to find out.

Gibson has researched and visited locations in the book better than most. His descriptions of London are very apt. I found his observation of understanding a city as a series of ways leading out from underground stations to be quite true. How many tourists still travel to Covent Garden by tube?

It reminded me a little of Banks' The Business. However, I felt that this provided a better mystery and a more complete ending.
