Histoire10
My name is Rex. I am a good dog. Rex is also seven foot tall at the shoulder, bulletproof, bristling with heavy calibre weaponry and his voice resonates with subsonics especially designed to instil fear. With Dragon, Honey and Bees, he's part of a Multiform Assault Pack operating in the lawless anarchy of Campeche, Mexico. A genetically engineered Bioform, he's a deadly weapon in a dirty war. All he wants to be is a Good Dog. And to do that he must do exactly what Master says and Master says he's got to kill a lot of enemies.

Glen Runciter runs a lucrative business—deploying his teams of anti-psychics to corporate clients who want privacy and security from psychic spies. But when he and his top team are ambushed by a rival, he is gravely injured and placed in "half-life," a dreamlike state of suspended animation. Soon, though, the surviving members of the team begin experiencing some strange phenomena, such as Runciter's face appearing on coins and the world seeming to move backward in time.

The year is 2050. The power of magic and the creatures it brings have returned to the earth, and many of the ancient races have re-emerged. Elves, Orks, Mages, and lethal Dragons find a home in a world where mana, technology, and human flesh have melded into deadly urban predators. And the multinational mega-corporations that run the world hoard the only thing of real value - information. For Sam Verner, living in the womb of the Renraku conglomerate was easy, until his sister disappeared and the façade of the corporate reality began to disintegrate.

In the early 18th century, the Pirate Republic was home to some of the great pirate captains, including Blackbeard, "Black Sam" Bellamy, and Charles Vane. Along with their fellow pirates - former sailors, indentured servants, and runaway slaves - this "Flying Gang" established a crude but distinctive democracy in the Bahamas, carving out their own zone of freedom in which servants were free, Blacks could be equal citizens, and leaders were chosen or deposed by a vote.

Upon listening to Dean read the book, I was struck by how little I remembered from my first partial read. It all seemed new to me, even though the concepts have surrounded me in all sorts of media for most of my life. Gibson’s semi-apologetic forward was cute (imagine feeling bad for not predicting the ubiquitousness of mobile phones) and contained enough humility to pardon any perceived sin of birthing the difficult-to-define genre of cyberpunk.
The book was groundbreaking, and its “newness” comes through even now, forty years after it was first published. Besides the very idea of cyberspace, the tone is different than most science fiction that preceded it: nasty, almost pornographic, and with a distinct lack of hope that innovation will save us all. At the same time, it harkens back to earlier times. Certainly, a debt to the hard-boiled detective fiction of the early twentieth century is owed. It reaches back even further, though, when you dissect the passage in which the titular AI explains the origin of his name. Besides the potent power words of “neuron” and “necromancer”, we also see “new romancer”.
There was a “New Romantic” movement in art in the seventies and eighties that is mostly remembered for a few pop music purveyors like Ultravox and Japan, but the original Romantic movement of the nineteenth century was also harkening back, somewhat longingly, to the medieval, a time before the Renaissance when progress was not expected and life was to be faced as it was, not as it might be.
This seems to be the attitude of the book’s protagonist, Case, who enters the stage as a failure, a man formerly of great talent but who must now wrestle for scraps with the vermin of the underworld. He expects nothing better, which makes him an easy mark when hope is suddenly thrust in front of him. It seems too good to be true, and it is. He doesn’t trust this hope, but he has nothing better going on and falls into one confusing situation after another. Like a medieval peasant confronted with demons and ghosts, he doesn’t bother to disbelieve, but interacts with artificial intelligences and the recreated psyches of a dead mentor and lover as if they were real. For all intents and purposes, they are. Maybe the unseen Renaissance is on the horizon in the form of AI, but no one can be expected to see it.
Yes, the book is great, as advertised, but what about the narration? I will admit that although Dean’s slow reading made it easy to catch every word, it was a little monotonous in timbre, making it easy for the reader to lose focus on it. Although he admirably dipped into accents for some characters, they nearly always spoke slowly and that made them all seem a little too similar. My biggest gripe is that Maelcum’s accent changed over the course of the book from a subtly melodic Caribbean when he is first encountered to a dull, almost Tonto-like, grunt. I can make up excuses for these faults (Maelcum’s original accent was a put-on that slips when it is no longer important, the monotonous narrative is what you would expect from a speed-freak who can no longer indulge), but it doesn’t really wash. The reader needs to engage the listener, as well as serve the story and its characters. It’s a tough gig and this one loses points in the engagement category. If other listeners felt the same way, it may explain why the sequels in the Sprawl Trilogy never got an audiobook treatment.
