It is a great book and the other two in the trilogy are just as good. I'm going through all of Gibson's works right now. Currently in Agency and loving it.
It's a trilogy? I didn't know that. Cool!
A very loose trilogy. They don't follow the same characters, not really. The world is the same, as are the themes.
Id recommend the great "johnny mnemonic" short story first. It introduces a character you will see again.
Alright that was really good, thank you for sharing it with me!!
Alright, thanks!
I've been waiting for the third book in the Jackpot trilogy for what feels like a decade. I hope he finishes it soon.
Just starting his Jackpot trilogy. I watched the series, they canceled it just as it was getting good. Wonder if that has anything to do with the incomplete books.
I believe that the show was cancelling due to a combination of the writers/actors strike and Amazon just having a nagging tendency to cancel expensive shows. The Peripheral does stray from the books a bit, but it was so good. The cancelling of their good shows and their bullshit extra fee to not see ads made me just stop watching Prime Video completely.
The books are excellent though, super excited about the last book (whenever it comes out). They are my favorite books of his since the Sprawl trilogy (aka Neuromancer books).
The characters were great, and the cast worked well, too. Second season people had settled in to their roles and it flowed better. Especially liked Alexandra Billings’ Lowbeer. That androgyny and smiling threat with presence brought to the character was awesome.
