Last May I blogged about William Gibson's new book Spook Country. Today, while at the airport in Indianapolis, I finally picked up a new hard cover copy. I also downloaded the unabridged audio version via iTunes.
Spook Country is Gibson's follow up to his last book Pattern Recognition. I am not sure if the events in this book happens before, at the same time, or after the events in his last. However, I am 12 chapters into book and there is already a reference to Hubertus Bigend and Blue Ant, two central players in Pattern Recognition.
Stay tuned for my complete review after I am finished reading the book. Until then, I am providing several pieces of footage that I found on YouTube that covers Gibson's overview of Spook Country. There is an interview, a reading of a section of the book that occurred in Second Life on August 2nd, 2007 as well as follow up Q/A after his reading. Enjoy!
