About this ebook
āThe ferociously talented Gibson delivers his signature mĆ©lange of technopop splendor and post-industrial squalorā (Time) in this New York Times bestseller that featuresĀ his hero fromĀ Idoru...
Colin Laney, sensitive to patterns of information like no one else on earth, currently resides in a cardboard box in Tokyo. His body shakes with fever dreams, but his mind roams free as always, and he knows something is about to happen. Not in Tokyo; he will not see this thing himself. Something is about to happen in San Francisco.

The mists make it easy to hide, if hiding is what you want, and even at the best of times reality there seems to shift. A gray man moves elegantly through the mists, leaving bodies in his wake, so that a tide of absences alerts Laney to his presence. A boy named Silencio does not speak, but flies through webs of cyber-information in search of the one object that has seized his imagination. And Rei Toi, the Japanese Idoru, continues her study of all things human. She herself is not human, not quite, but sheās working on it. And in the mists of San Francisco, at this rare moment in history, who is to say what is or is not impossible...

Gibson at his best, reminds me of neuromancer. poetic, mythic, dystopian without being too abstract or unexplained to follow. the switches btwn narrators are organic and further the story (unlike most of his works where i find it tedious, like constant clockwork cliffhangers) insanely prescient as always, i was amused by all the things that *didn't* happen (like printing your own magazine at a convenience store) but seem equally plausible.

So tantalizingly close to being real, and simultaneously fantasy. Descriptions crafted like bonsai.
