Zero History for this story

Zero History by William Gibson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

In this third of the Blue Ant trilogy, many interesting ideas are touched upon, but nothing in this story goes very deep. The interesting ideas that are introduced and flirted with are never developed with enough detail to captivate me as a reader. The characters for the most part were shallow and uninteresting. Milgrim, who was one of the most dysfunctional of the cast of characters, was most interesting to me. Many of his thoughts, comments, and actions added some of the only depth i felt. Mr Gibson remains one of my favorite authors, but this story, and the Blue Ant trilogy in general, just did not reach me, therefore i don't recommend them. This is a significant departure from the previous two trilogies by the author, The Sprawl Trilogy, and The Bridge Trilogy, both of which were exciting and captivating to read. I really enjoyed those, but not so much for The Blue Ant series.
