In next week's issue, an excerpt from the ** starred ** review:
Set in the same high-tech present day as Pattern Recognition, Gibson's fine... novel offers startling insights into our paranoid and often fragmented, postmodern world. When a mysterious, not yet actual magazine, Node, hires former indie rocker–turned–journalist Hollis Henry to do a story on a new art form that exists only in virtual reality, Hollis finds herself investigating something considerably more dangerous...
Compelling characters and crisp action sequences, plus the author's trademark metaphoric language, help make this one of Gibson's best. 8-city author tour. (Aug.)

Surely we can have a discussion about a book that no one's read about an art form that doesn't exist on a website that isn't actual. Seems all kinda congruent to me.
Reminds me of physicist Freeman Dyson, who started his career as a mathematician by saying "I am working on a class of problems that are not just insoluble, but cannot even be stated."
