| My forthcoming science fiction novella Two Thirds of a God will be available March 25, 2025. The art was done by the great British artist Mike Church. Here’s the story: Eleanor Burton is head of R&D for the nearly complete OrbitNet space-based internet system when she receives a fatal diagnosis. With two months to live, she becomes the guinea pig for a friend’s brain scanning experiment, and the next thing she knows, she is a virtual human, a program running on the primary OrbitNet satellite. Did her situation arise from a chain of coincidences or someone’s master plan? And can she stop a plot to control the entire planet? “The novel succeeds both as a character study of a digital being and as a techno-thriller. A post-human entity proves to be the most relatable character in this engaging cyberthriller.” —Kirkus Reviews |  |

| I missed this when it first came out, but I thoroughly enjoyed it once I found it. The most fun I’d had in a long time. | This novel is the beginning of his Blue Ant trilogy, and still one of my favorites among Gibson’s many great books. | After his brain has been on a shelf for 150 years, they hot-swap it into a body, demanding he solve the murder of a man who is still alive. Great SF noir. | You may have heard of The Expanse TV series. This is the first novel in the series it is based on. The best space opera I’ve ever read. |
