  • «Страна призраков» (англ. Spook Country) — роман американского писателя-фантаста Уильяма Гибсона. Гибсон анонсировал эту книгу 6 октября 2006 года в своём блоге, где выложил несколько непоследовательно идущих фрагментов будущей книги. Это привело читателей к спорам и догадкам относительно сюжета и содержания произведения ещё до его выхода. Книга была начата в феврале 2006 года, и входит в серию с предыдущей книгой, «Распознавание образов». В интервью журналу PC Magazine Гибсон высказался, что сюжет «Страны призраков» разворачивается «в том же мире, который более или менее является тем миром, в котором мы живём сейчас».(В книге действие происходит в 2006 году).
