What to expect

Cayce Pollard owes her living to her pathological sensitivity to logos. In London to consult for the world's coolest ad agency, she finds herself catapulted, via her addiction to a mysterious body of fragmentary film footage, uploaded to the Web by a shadowy auteur, into a global quest for this unknown "garage Kubrick". Cayce becomes involved with an eccentric hacker, a vengeful ad executive, a defrocked mathematician, a Tokyo Otaku-coven known as Eye of the Dragon and, eventually, the elusive "Kubrick" himself. William Gibson's audiobook is about the eternal mystery of London, the coolest sneakers in the world, and life in (the former) USSR.

    This clicked for me. An engaging plot and a cast of interesting characters. For me, the writing style was effective and evocative. Very mundane details are described in an inventive and poetic way, which communicates the mindset and mood of the unusual main character. The effect is like creating a vivid painting (vs a photograph)

    Eg: “Sleep takes her down fast, and very deep, whirls her through places too fragmentary to call dreams, then spits her abruptly back to the surface.”

    Narration was great too. Clear and helped immerse me in the story
