Description
Zero History by William Gibson is a gripping spy thriller that skewers the absurdity of modern life with a light touch. Hubertus Bigend, the enigmatic head of global ad-agency Blue Ant, becomes fixated on an obscurely fashionable denim that's taking subculture by storm. He recruits Henry Hollis, an ex-musician with no fashion expertise, to uncover the denim's origins. As Hollis delves deeper, she finds herself in the crossfire of powerful parties with sinister agendas. As the stakes rise, Bigend's interest in underground labels takes a dark turn. The lines between fashion and espionage blur, and Hollis must navigate a complex web of intrigue. Gibson's writing is thrillingly tight, coating the narrative with a hipster glaze that's both engaging and thought-provoking. Readers of thrillers and science fiction will find Zero History a gripping pacey read, full of ideas and ideas-swarming plot twists.
