You've got me pegged. I'm a huge fan of William Gibson. Here is the first entry of a trilogy that takes place in modern times instead of a cyberpunk future. Our hero (again) is named Case with a strange allergy/aversion to branding. So her outfits are called CPUS (Cayce Pollock Units) that are all black, with the tags removed. She has a special attachment to a Buzz Rickson's Bomber Jacket, which somehow makes me want one even though there's never a proper season for it in central Florida. Cayce is on a mission to find the source of a mysterious photo blog.
This story is good fun, with lots of normal tech and KGB/Russian stuff that I don't entirely understand. There's a guy who's going to make an enlightening art project out of Sinclair ZX-81 Computers, which excites me. But it's been over a year and I haven't yet read the next entry in the series, which says something regarding my love for Gibson.
