Now Gibson is back with Agencya science fiction thriller heavily influenced by our most current events.Verity Jane, gifted app whisperer, takes a job as the beta tester for a new product: a digital assistant, accessed through a pair of ordinarylooking glasses.

Realizing that her cryptic new employers dont yet know how powerful and valuable Eunice is, Verity instinctively decides that its best they dont.Meanwhile, a century ahead in London, in a different time line entirely, Wilf Netherton works amid plutocrats and plunderers, survivors of the slow and steady apocalypse known as the jackpot.
