A corporate mercenary wakes in a reconstructed body, a beautiful woman
by his side. Then Hosaka Corporation reactivates him, for a mission more
dangerous than the one he's recovering from: to get a defecting chief of
R&D -- and the biochip he's perfected--out intact. But this proves to be
of supreme interest to certain other parties -- some of whom aren't
remotely human... "Potent and heady." --Philadelphia Daily News "An
intriguing cast of characters and a tough, glitzy image of computer
consciousness and the future of mankind." --Richmond Times-Dispatch
"Count Zero shares with Neuromancer that novel's stunning use of
language, breakneck pacing, technological innovation, and gritty
brand-name realism." --Fantasy Review "William Gibson's prose,
astonishing in its clarity and skill, becomes high-tech electric
poetry." --Bruce Sterling "Suspense, action...a lively story...a
sophisticated version of the sentient computer, a long way from the old
models that were simply out to Rule the World." --Locus
