A review by enbyglitch
Count Zero by William Gibson
4.0
(Second Read)
I think ultimately Gibson was *trying* with his inclusion of so many black and female characters with narrative significance; but sadly parts of this book are still an 80's nightmare of rac- and sexism.
I enjoyed the three plots, each unique in just about every way and picking up different aspects of the world left behind in 'Neuromancer'. I'd entirely forgotten about the Loa, and having learned more about Voodoo since my last reading, again loved that wildly creative jump.
