What this book is about

Hollis Henry and Milgrim return in the conclusion of the Blue Ant trilogy. Hubertus Bigend — the Belgian marketing genius who manipulates everyone — wants to discover the source of a mysterious military fashion label called Gabriel Hound. What follows is a chase through the fashion-industrial complex and the private security world, where clothing is intelligence and desire is manufactured. Gibson's most playful and perhaps warmest novel.
