Description: Hollis Henry, former rock singe- turned-journalist, has very reluctantly agreed to work for the secretive Belgian finance genius Hubertus Bigend again--only to find herself entangled in a threatening mesh of postmodern marketing, corrupt American military contractors, and belated romance.

Review Quotes: "[Gibson] weaves an unnerving tapestry of technology, violence and anxiety."--The Daily Telegraph (London)

"Fascinating."--The Seattle Times

"Uncanny."--San Antonio Express-News

"Brilliant, entertaining, and bittersweet."--io9

"Zero History is another smartly scouted roadmap of alternate routes through today's global culture, as powered by what a friend of mine used to call the military-industrial-greeting-card complex. It's a world where cool is king, but also the key to power--and the future."--Milwaukee Sentinel Journal

"What matters [about Zero History] are the highly textured, brilliantly evocative prose and the stunning insights Gibson offers into what we perceive as the present moment--the implication being, per the title, that's all we have left. Unsettling and memorable."--Kirkus Reviews
