"A masterful performance."--Chicago Tribune

"Gibson nails the texture of internet culture: how it feels to be close to someone you know only as a voice in a chat room, or to fret about someone spying on your browser's list of sites visited."--The New York Times

"Completely contemporary...his best book."--San Francisco Chronicle Book Review

"[An] eerie vision of our time."--The New Yorker

"So good it defies all the usual superlatives."--The Seattle Times
