About this listen
"One of the most visionary, original, and quietly influential writers currently working" (Boston Globe) returns with a brand-new novel.
In William Gibson's first novel since 2014's New York Times best-selling The Peripheral, a gifted "app-whisperer", hired to beta test a mysterious new product, finds her life endangered by her relationship with her surprisingly street-smart and combat-savvy "digital assistant".

For me, Agency is his best since Neuromancer
I have waited a long time for Gibson to really hit his straps again. Way back in '84 when I read Neuromancer for the first time, it triggered my brain plasticity, much as a VR headset does for many first time users today. In Agency, Gibson took me for a ride I didn't know I wanted and his premonition about pandemics couldn't be more apt. His handling of a powerful AI was exciting for me and the "forks in the road" almost reminded me of Aldiss's Barefoot in the Head.
The narrator did a pretty good job with the accents and characters, but I'm picky and some pronunciations annoyed me a little, but that is a small thing as I found it an enjoyable experience and I'm looking forward to more like this from Mr Gibson.

Awesome ! Almost better than the first
I’ve only one criticism in that the ending is a little flat but considering there’s another book incoming that’s not unexpected.
Loved it otherwise, great voices and accents , maintained consistency ; involved and explains well.

Unfortunately cumbersome
Really wanted to like this but couldn't. The story is overly, and unenjoyably convoluted. It could have been told in half the space /time and not lost anything important. There are minor characters that serve no purpose, interactions that are not explained, and the back story and setting is frustrating. A huge event is going down but we learn a fraction of it? Why bother include it at all?! A missed opportunity overall for a potentially unique and significant story.
Should mention that the voice acting is exceptional though.
