The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
We are delighted to welcome back one of the most engaging, visionary, and committed novelists at work today, William Gibson, who is here from his Vancouver home with a quite different new book. Coming on the heels of his astounding tenth novel, Zero History, Distrust That Particular Flavor (Putnam) is his collected nonfiction work to date, a book covers ground from George Orwell to online watch collecting to drug trafficking in Singapore. "Cyberpunk's patron saint of prose proves that his reality is every bit as trippy as his fiction. Gibson's gift for language is such that banal discussions of Steely Dan and even eBay take on otherworldly aspects ... In this case, understanding the writer a little better makes the fantastic thoughts emanating from his head all the more captivating and strange. A provocative, surprising look at the lesser-known parts of a sci-fi superstar's writing career." – Kirkus Reviews. William Gibson's extraordinary body of work includes Neuromancer, Mona Lisa Overdrive, Idoru, Pattern Recognition, and Spook Country.
