Chapter Ten from William Gibson’s new novel, Zero History is excerpted in Wired this month. While he was working on the book, Gibson he gave us a shout out on his most excellent blog, and we sure appreciated it.

Nobody in my next novel is likely to use Field Notes products, that I know of, but I’d like to give them some (free!!!) product placement right now, right here on my blog. I haven’t even seen any, in person, but I love their site, and eventually I’ll get around to ordering some. I love the idea of really well-designed, well-made, preferable simple, American-made (or Canadian-made) products, particularly if they have really smartly-designed websites that are entertaining to read.

So, in the interest of fair play, because we’re big fans and because the excerpt is (no surprise) awesome, we’re giving Zero History a (free!!!) product placement right back.
