Count Zero
by William GibsonBy far, this is the best book in the Sprawl Trilogy. What's that trilogy, you ask? Why, it starts with Neuromancer. I bet you didn't know the cyberpunk classic had sequels. Now you know. And now you know Count Zero is the best of the bunch. In fact, don't feel obligated to read Neuromancer first (or again), this one completely stands on its own.
The combination of voodoo and cyberpunk with awesome anti-hero protagonists and tons of grit, this is a great read. If you're not sure about cyberpunk, I'd start here.
publisher’s summary
A corporate mercenary wakes in a reconstructed body, a beautiful woman by his side. Then Hosaka Corporation reactivates him, for a mission more dangerous than the one he's recovering from: to get a defecting chief of R&D-and the biochip he's perfected-out intact. But this proves to be of supreme interest to certain other parties-some of whom aren't remotely human.
