Motion with PERIL. The recent William Gibson books have been bad for that, just people moving between places, without much agency or clue of what is going on.

Holy cow, that's the perfect summary of what's been bothering me with Gibson's latest few series. Thank you for the insight.
Gibson has lost it for me with the 'stub' concept. Communicating with an alternate timeline through 'a server somewhere in China' is too thin for me.
