Media Reviews
[Gibson] weaves an unnerving tapestry of technology, violence and anxiety. --The Daily Telegraph (London)

Fascinating. --The Seattle Times

Uncanny. --San Antonio Express-News

Brilliant, entertaining, and bittersweet. --io9

Zero History is another smartly scouted roadmap of alternate routes through today's global culture, as powered by what a friend of mine used to call the military-industrial-greeting-card complex. It's a world where cool is king, but also the key to power--and the future. --Milwaukee Sentinel Journal

What matters [about Zero History] are the highly textured, brilliantly evocative prose and the stunning insights Gibson offers into what we perceive as the present moment--the implication being, per the title, that's all we have left. Unsettling and memorable. --Kirkus Reviews
