Cyberpunk discussion

I'm currently reading it. What is your opinion about Gibson's last novel?

I can't figure out why he wrote it (or why his publisher let him write it). It's not really his usual genre and I found the storyline to be very disjointed. I'm used to authors who switch between multiple storylines in a book, but he did not mesh them well in Spook Country.

I had a great time reading it. His "scalpel" writing is not at its best: It does not take me multiple reads to process what I just read and there is no real fascination on how sentences were built, unlike his early cyberpunk work.
The story is fine and ties very well with contemporary life. This is something that I could get my Mom to read and yet it has an odd scifi feeling to it.
I am a big fan of Gibson. I wish he would do more cyberpunk / postcyberpunk.

I heard this book was a contractual obligation to his publisher. I have not read it yet but I did read his follow up and didn't like it. he seems to write about general fiction mixing in fashion and very soft (if any) sci-fi. I'm hoping for some sort of cyberpunk revival... something with some action to it.

I read Spook, it was ok... a little slow and not very compelling characters although he skirts around the edge of creating one in his heroine. The best idea in it is that there is a "cyber" vigilante group bent on destroying those with ill gained wealth/

He calls it speculative fiction. It's not about the cyber Anymore :(
