Not at all what I expected. It's much more analytical and light on adventure. The premise of pre-programmed spaceships that could either make you rich or kill you is such an interesting one.
Fun read. I wish the politics were explained a bit more though. As it was it was confusing to understand the posture between the various planets and their affiliation with either the Dominion or the Unified Worlds. The last quarter of the book really picked up!
Gibson's writing is amazing as always, although I prefer his futuristic work to this which is contemporary. Still a phenomenal action-packed and mysterious story.
