RT @dlximgntn: @GreatDismal so, it ends with a ".", now, can you tell me the exact word in the middle of zero history? :) ["monomers"] 3:51 PM Apr 1st via Brizzly
I doubt if that is literally true, especially as the manuscript is currently being edited for production. William Gibson's use of "monomers" in several of his works has been discussed on the official WIlliam Gibson Discussion forum.

Obviously William Gibson does not want to give too much away,
http://twitter.com/GreatDismal/status/11386981501I don't want to be Mr. Spoiler, so generally won't answer Zero History questions. 1:06 PM Mar 31st via Brizzly
but there is one small clue regarding the content of Zero History:

Will anti-surveillance technologies or counter-surveillance techniques feature in Zero History ?
