Count Zero By William Gibson by William Gibson

Three interwoven near‑future stories follow a corporate “extractor” hired to shepherd a valuable defecting asset, an art dealer hired by a reclusive collector to find the creator of strange, enigmatic assemblages, and a young, inexperienced hacker whose botched run into the matrix nearly kills him; their lives collide amid corporate espionage, street gangs, and the sudden emergence of quasi‑mythic intelligences in cyberspace that reshuffle power and meaning in both virtual and physical worlds.
