Everything Gibson writes about in "Spook Country" is — or could be — real. Today. Locative art exists; it's possible to Google the term and learn about projects such as "Light From Tomorrow," an exhibit that uses cameras and the Internet to subvert the authority of the international date line. As a French artist Hollis interviews opines, cyberspace is turning itself inside out, connecting itself to the latitude and longitude of the real world. Its privileged secrets are making themselves public. Hollis herself, witness to what she calls "the single strangest thing I imagine I'll ever see," becomes part of the process, and so do Gibson's readers.
