Description
William Gibson regresa con su primera novela desde Zero History, el éxito de ventas del New York Times de 2010. Donde viven Flynne y su hermano, Burton, los trabajos fuera del negocio de las drogas son escasos. Afortunadamente, Burton tiene sus beneficios de veterano, por el daño neuronal que sufrió debido a los implantes durante su tiempo en la fuerza de élite Haptic Recon del USMC. Entonces, una noche, Burton tiene que salir, pero hay un trabajo que se supone que debe hacer, un trabajo que Flynne no sabía que tenía. Prueba beta de parte de un nuevo juego, le dice. El trabajo parece sencillo: trabajar un perímetro alrededor de la imagen de un edificio torre. Aparecen pequeñas cosas parecidas a insectos. Se supone que debe interponerse en su camino, hacerles retroceder. Eso es todo al respecto. Le está ofreciendo a Flynne un buen precio para que se haga cargo de él. Sin embargo, lo que ve no es lo que Burton le dijo que esperara. Puede ser un juego, pero también puede ser un asesinato.
Description
William Gibson returns with his first novel since 2010's New York Times-bestselling Zero History. Where Flynne and her brother, Burton, live, jobs outside the drug business are rare. Fortunately, Burton has his veteran's benefits, for neural damage he suffered from implants during his time in the USMC's elite Haptic Recon force. Then one night Burton has to go out, but there's a job he's supposed to do-a job Flynne didn't know he had. Beta-testing part of a new game, he tells her. The job seems to be simple: work a perimeter around the image of a tower building. Little buglike things turn up. He's supposed to get in their way, edge them back. That's all there is to it. He's offering Flynne a good price to take over for him. What she sees, though, isn't what Burton told her to expect. It might be a game, but it might also be murder.
