About this product

Product Information

2005: Welcome to NoCal and SoCal, the uneasy sister-states of what used to be California. Here the millenium has come and gone, leaving in its wake only stunned survivors. In Los Angeles, Berry Rydell is a former armed-response rentacop now working for a bounty hunter. Chevette Washington is a bicycle messenger turned pickpocket who impulsively snatches a pair of innocent-looking sunglasses. But these are no ordinary shades. What you can see through these high-tech specs can make you rich--or get you killed. Now Berry and Chevette are on the run, zeroing in on the digitalized heart of DatAmerica, where pure information is the greatest high. And a mind can be a terrible thing to crash...

    William Gibsons vision, shared with us in all his books, comes thru very vividly in his descriptions of life on "The Bridge". a piece of throw away landscape, cobbled together by misfits and criminals, out of the refuse at hand, on what is left of the golden gate bridge. Possibly my favorite is Yamazaki, a character, who is in america on the bridge studying the phenomena of rube goldberg devices and unique social manifestations that come from living on well on a bridge. at once a bleak mystery quasi spy story where locals get embroiled in international plots and a very cute opposites attract love story, Virtual Light is a great start to a three book series, which goes on to include, Idoru, and All Tomorrows Parties. if you enjoy gritty descriptions and fast action in a bladerunner-esq ...
