About This Item
London : Viking, (1996). First British edition. A strange predictive tale of the beautiful, mysterious and entirely virtual media star – from the man who coined the term cyberspace. "The founding father of cyberpunk returns to the techno-decadent 21st century mapped out in his other major works ... Gibson exhibits his greatest strength: intense speculation, expressed in dramatic form, about the near-term evolution of and merging of cultural, social and technological trends, and how they affect character" (Publishers' Weekly).
Medium 8vo (25cm). [x],292,[ii]pp. Original black boards, lettered in silver; just a hint of bruising, but a very good copy in the Gary Marsh dust-jacket – similarly with a hint of bruising, but also very good.
Synopsis
Idoru is the second book in William Gibson's Bridge trilogy. Idoru is a science-fiction novel set in a postmodern, dystopian, cyberpunk future. The main character, Colin Laney, has a talent for identifying nodal points, analogous to Gibson's own: As of 2006, an anime adaptation of Idoru is rumoured to be in the early stages of development.
