Description
Hollis Henry never intended to work for global marketing magnate Hubertus Bigend again. But now she’s broke, and Bigend has just the thing to get her back in the game...
Milgrim can disappear in almost any setting, and his Russian is perfectly idiomatic—so much so that he spoke it with his therapist in the secret Swiss clinic where Bigend paid for him to be cured of his addiction...
Garreth doesn't owe Bigend a thing. But he does have friends from whom he can call in the kinds of favors powerful people need when things go sideways...
They all have something Bigend wants as he finds himself outmaneuvered and adrift, after a Department of Defense contract for combat-wear turns out to be the gateway drug for arms dealers so shadowy they can out-Bigend Bigend himself.
“Zero History is [Gibson’s] best yet, a triumph of science fiction as social criticism and adventure.”—BoingBoing.net

Could not put it down

4By Steve from West ChesterThe best of Gibson's trilogy. Secret Branding at it's best. Strangely, Gibson says you can actually start with this volume rather than end with it....Zero History
4By José BorgesGreat read and well thought characters.Zero History
5By J. NortonAn incredible book, and a brilliant success for William Gibson. I hesitate to offer too many details because I wouldn't want to get carried away and give something away accidentally. I'll say this – fashion is a scary thing.
