Count Zero

Book • 1986
Count Zero, published in 1986, is the second novel in William Gibson's cyberpunk Sprawl trilogy.

The novel weaves together three seemingly disparate narratives.

These narratives eventually converge, revealing the complex interplay of artificial intelligence, corporate espionage, and virtual reality within the Sprawl.

Gibson explores themes of identity, technology's impact on human experience, and the emergence of new forms of consciousness in a digital age.

Count Zero solidified Gibson's status as a visionary science fiction writer and further defined the cyberpunk genre.
