Book summaryPrognosticator Colin Laney, who originally appeared in Gibson's IDORU, finds himself troubled at the start of the millennium. Though the disastrous events that doomsayers predicted would accompany the end of the last millennium didn't come to pass, Laney feels sure that something has been overlooked, and that the end may yet be on the way.Media Reviews"ALL TOMORROW'S PARTIES is immensely engaging, alive on every page and as enjoyable a weekend entertainment as one could want. Who else but William Gibson would envisage a 21st century in which nature shows would be filmed in Detroit? Or imagine a flophouse that required reservations, booked in advance through an agency in the city. " -- Michael Dirda, Washington Post Book World First LineThrough the evening's tide of faces unregistered, unrecognized, amid hurrying black shoes, furled umbrellas, the crowd descending like a single organism into the station's airless heart, comes Shinya Yamazaki, his notebook clasped beneath his arm like the egg case of some modest but moderately successful marine species. Publisher NotesThe author of "Neuromancer, " the novel that predicted the Internet, now takes readers into the millennium, resurrecting Colin Laney, his popular character from "Idoru, " in a brilliant new novel about the moments in history when futures are born.
