mona lisa overdrive

Descriere

The ghost was her father's parting gift, presented by a black-clad secretary in a departure lounge at Narita..

Mona is a young girl with a murky past and an uncertain future whose life is turned upside down when her pimp sells her to a plastic surgeon in New York and overnight she's turned into someone else.

Angie Mitchell is a famous Hollywood Sense/Net star with a special talent. And despite the efforts of studio bosses to keep her in ignorance, Angie's started remembering things. Soon she'll discover who she really is . . . and why she doesn't need a deck in order to enter cyberspace.

From inside the matrix, plots are set in motion and human beings are being played like pieces on a board. And behind the intrigue lurks the shadowy Yazuka, the powerful Japanese underworld, whose leaders ruthlessly manipulate people and events to suit their own purposes.

Or so they think . . .

Despre autor

William Gibson

scriitor american de science fiction · n. 1948

William Ford Gibson este un scriitor canadian de origine americană. Romanele lui de ficțiune speculativă i-au atras numele de „profetul întunecat” al genului cyberpunk. Gibson a inventat termenul de „cyberspațiu” în povestirea sa „Burning Chrome” (1982) și a popularizat conceptul mai târziu în romanul său de debut, Neuromantul (1984).
