William Gibson

"William Ford Gibson (born March 17, 1948) is an American-Canadian speculative fiction writer and essayist widely credited with pioneering the science fiction subgenre known as cyberpunk. Beginning his writing career in the late 1970s, his early works were noir, near-future stories that explored the effects of technology, cybernetics, and computer networks on humans—a ""combination of lowlife and high tech""—and helped to create an iconography for the information age before the ubiquity of the Internet in the 1990s. Gibson notably coined the term ""cyberspace"" in his short story ""Burning Chrome"" (1982) and later popularized the concept in his acclaimed debut novel Neuromancer (1984). These early works have been credited with ""renovating"" science fiction literature after it had fallen largely into insignificance in the 1970s.

Samenvatting

The last of the Sprawl trilogy: the AIs of Neuromancer have suffered a traumatized, cataclysmic coming to self-awareness and now haunt cyberspace as voodoo powers.



Mona’s pimp sells her to a plastic surgeon in New York and she’s turned overnight into someone else. The pimp winds up dead. Mona weeps for him. She’s a sweet, dumb girl … so far.

But in the depths of the rustbelt, the ring of steel garbage and toxic waste surrounding the Sprawl, Gentry is obsessively seeking the darkest secrets of the Matrix. Seeking rapture. So that when an impossibly tall and powerful skyscraper of data appears suddenly in the landscape of the Matrix, Gentry is ready for it …

And Mona is set for overdrive. Rapture is on the agenda for both of them, but others greedy for money and power will fight them to the death, whatever 'death' means.

“Brilliant … a delight to read. No one can ever hope to out-Gibson Gibson … a true original”
SUNDAY TIMES

“Gibson’s most accomplished book to date, a futurist hybrid of Fleming and Deighton and Bester”
TIME OUT

“Gibson can spin a gripping yarn. He builds up a great head of steam within the first few pages and doesn’t relax until the end”
TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT
