Book Trailer: Zero History by William Gibson

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

William Gibson, of Neuromancer fame, has a new book coming out September 7th, 2010. Apparently Zero History is connected to two of his previous books Pattern Recognition and Spook Country. I really enjoyed Pattern Recognition when I read it a couple of years ago. I thought it was a smart thriller about advertisements and culture. Spook Country is a book I bought but never got around to reading.

I don’t really like the book trailer. The voice over (i.e. William Gibson) sounds under produced and could have just had its levels adjusted to make it sound like he wasn’t speaking so close to the microphone.

Since January 2008 I have been using this blog to write about the books i've read and other book related news that I find interesting. I also find pirates interesting so from time to time I may blog about pirates. I see this as killing two birds with one stone.

Review Policy
Dear Publishers/Authors,

I am always willing to discuss reviewing you book on my blog. Discovering new authors is one of the things I love about book blogging. However, I do not accept all books for review. If it's not in my usual genre chances are I am going to decline the offer.

A couple of genres I dislike are: Self-Help, YA Paranormal, Hardcore Science-Fiction, and Depressing Memoirs.

Some genres I really enjoy: Pirates, Satire, Pulp Fiction, Queer Fiction, YA Fiction (Non-Paranormal and Non-Gossip Girl-esq) and Comical Memoirs.

Here's the thing. If you e-mail me asking me to review a book, I will always respond and let you know if I am interested or not. If you don't hear back from me, feel free to send a follow-up e-mail. No longer will I just ignore your e-mail.

-Colin Matthew
