THE THIRD NOVEL IN THE BLUE ANT TRILIOGY – READ PATTERN RECOGNITION AND SPOOK COUNTRY FOR MORE
Hubertus Bigend, the Machiavellian head of global ad-agency Blue Ant, wants to uncover the maker of an obscurely fashionable denim that is taking subculture by storm. Ex-musician Henry Hollis knows nothing about fashion, but Bigend decides she is the woman for the job anyway.
Soon, though, it becomes clear that Bigend’s interest in underground labels might have sinister applications. Powerful parties, who’ll do anything to get what they want, are showing their hand. And Hollis is about to find herself in the crossfire.
A gripping spy thriller by William Gibson, bestselling author of Neuromancer. Part prophesy, part satire, Zero History skewers the absurdity of modern life with the lightest and most engaging of touches. Readers of Neal Stephenson, Ray Bradbury and Iain M. Banks won’t be able to put this book down.
