Count Zero

ISBN: 000648042X
Author: William Gibson
Description:
Turner, a corporate mercenary, wakes in a reconstructed body, a beautiful woman by his side. Then his employers reactivate him for a mission more dangerous than the one that killed him: the chief of R&D at a rival company is defecting. Turner is the one assigned to get him out intact, along with the biochip he's perfected. This proves to be of supreme interest to certain other parties - some of whom aren't remotely human. Bobby Newmark is entirely human: a rustbelt data-hustler totally unprepared for what comes his way when the defection triggers war in cyberspace. With voodoo on the Net and a price on his head, Newmark thinks he's only trying to get out alive. Until he meets the angel. A stylish, streetsmart, frighteningly probable parable of the future.
