Unleash the Future: Agency by William Gibson Dive into the latest masterpiece from a visionary mind! An Instant New York Times Bestseller! Experience the electrifying follow-up that captivated readers and critics alike. Meet the Maestro: William Gibson Lauded as “ONE OF THE MOST VISIONARY, ORIGINAL, AND QUIETLY INFLUENTIAL WRITERS CURRENTLY WORKING” by *The Boston Globe*, William Gibson continues to redefine speculative fiction. For decades, Gibson has peered into tomorrow, famously coining “cyberspace” and popularizing it in his groundbreaking classic, Neuromancer. Prepare for another journey into his intricately imagined futures, building on the success of the New York Times bestselling The Peripheral, which Cory Doctorow hailed as “spectacular, a piece of trenchant, far-future speculation that features all the eyeball kicks of Neuromancer.” Your Next Sci-Fi Obsession: Agency Prepare for Agency, a gripping science fiction thriller brilliantly informed by our most current global events. A Tale of Two Timelines:
- Verity Jane: A gifted app whisperer, Verity takes on a mysterious beta tester job for a new digital assistant. Accessed through ordinary-looking glasses, “Eunice”—the disarmingly human AI—manifests a unique face, a fragmented past, and an uncanny grasp of combat strategy. Realizing her enigmatic employers underestimate Eunice’s power, Verity instinctively decides to keep this secret.
- Wilf Netherton: A century later, in an entirely different London timeline, Wilf navigates a world shaped by plutocrats, plunderers, and the aftermath of the “jackpot”—a slow, steady apocalypse. His boss, the enigmatic Ainsley Lowbeer, possesses the rare ability to peer into alternate pasts and subtly influence their trajectories. Verity and Eunice become her latest project, and Wilf, with his unique vantage point, sees what they cannot: their own version of the jackpot looming, and the critical roles they are destined to play.
