'Count Zero' is the second chapter in the 'Neuromancer' trilogy. It is set in the same dark future and takes place a few years after the events of 'Neuromancer' with a cyberspace that has evolved since Wintermute. 'Count Zero' is the handle of a young cyberspace cowboy who is caught in the net of corporate intrigue. The book has a nice scenario and an interwoven plot. It also contains some interesting ideas about the Cornell boxes being similiarly structured as AIs. ¶
