 br />"ONE OF THE MOST VISIONARY\, ORIGINAL\, AND QUIETLY INFLUENTIAL WRITE
 RS CURRENTLY WORKING"* returns with a sharply imagined follow-up to the&nb
 sp\;New York Times&nbsp\;bestselling&nbsp\;The Peripheral.</p>\n<p>William
  Gibson has trained his eye on the future for decades\, ever since coining
  the term "cyberspace" and then popularizing it in his classic speculative
  novel&nbsp\;Neuromancer&nbsp\;in the early 1980s. Cory Doctorow raved tha
 t&nbsp\;The Peripheral&nbsp\;is "spectacular\, a piece of trenchant\, far-
 future speculation that features all the eyeball kicks of&nbsp\;Neuromance
 r." Now Gibson is back with&nbsp\;Agency&mdash\;a science fiction thriller
  heavily influenced by our most current events.</p>\n<p>Verity Jane\, gift
 ed app whisperer\, takes a job as the beta tester for a new product: a dig
 ital assistant\, accessed through a pair of ordinary-looking glasses. "Eun
 ice\," the disarmingly human AI in the glasses\, manifests a face\, a frag
 mentary past\, and a canny grasp of combat strategy. Realizing that her cr
 yptic new employers don't yet know how powerful and valuable Eunice is\, V
 erity instinctively decides that it's best they don't.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile\,
  a century ahead in London\, in a different time line entirely\, Wilf Neth
 erton works amid plutocrats and plunderers\, survivors of the slow and ste
 ady apocalypse known as the jackpot. His boss\, the enigmatic Ainsley Lowb
 eer\, can look into alternate pasts and nudge their ultimate directions. V
 erity and Eunice are her current project. Wilf can see what Verity and Eun
 ice can't: their own version of the jackpot\, just around the corner\, and
  the roles they both may play in it.</p>\n<p>*The Boston Globe</p>\nhttps:
