Relation Supposing Books Virtual Light (Bridge #1)

William Gibson begins his Bridge trilogy with this 1993 publication that was nominated for both the Hugo and the Locus awards.

In the air of great protagonist names won hands down by Neal Stephenson in his 1992 cyberpunkapalooza Snow Crash with Hiro Protagonist, Gibson introduces us to Chevette Washington, a messenger living on the Bay Bridge between San Francisco and Oakland who gets caught up in corporate espionage surrounding some stolen glasses.

But these are not just any glasses, they produce virtual light, enabling the viewer to see more than reality, and this is not just the Bay Bridge, this is Gibson’s world building after devastating earthquakes and after tumultuous socioeconomic and political upheavals.

Taking off from his archetypal Sprawl series, Gibson gives us another foray into a near future cyberpunk landscape that mesmerizes as it entertains. While this lacks the fringe element edgy cool of Neuromancer, this is told more straightforward and has some early indications of the kind of writing Gibson would do with his Blue Ant series. SF readers who could not buy into the Sprawl books may find this one more approachable.

Lots of fun and highly recommended.

Judge Epithetical Books Virtual Light (Bridge #1)

Storyline: 3/5Characters: 3/5Writing Style: ?/5World: 3/5Whenever I start a cyberpunk novel, I think, "Oh no, not another one of those." I dread the jagged, clipped sentence structure and the bitingly hip timbre. With Gibson, it at least didn't read as affectation. This was an irascible vision of the future written with bitter resignation of the knowledge of things to come. Not a dystopia warning us off a certain trajectory or an embrace of current trends, the world here is the inevitable

Having read about 70% of Gibson's work, I'd have to say, this is one of my favorites.Tight plot. Rapid movement and action. Dystopian, but not too depressingly so (sort of). Well done book, looking forward to the rest of the trilogy.

This is excellent! I liked it much more than all three novels in the Neuromancer trilogy (not that I didn't like those a lot). The idea of the repurposed Golden Gate Bridge is ingenious and inspirational. The two main characters are both likable and easy to root for.Of course, this IS a dystopian novel, and there is much in it that is chilling and sometimes uncomfortably prescient.

If Haruki Murakami and Philip K Dick had ever written a book together this would have been it (they didn't have no baby or anything though). To me it felt like Philip's story but in the voice of Murakami. My first William Gibson novel and I've enjoyed it, he has created an interesting future, things are only slightly more advanced than they are now which makes it easier to get into. There are a fair number of characters, all having little bit parts, I only really had an issue with one of then,

PreromancerThis 1993 novel isn't so much set in the cyberspace of Gibson's Neuromancer", as in the world of an imagined 2005/2006 (the exact date doesn't seem to be mentioned in the text itself, and there's a conflict in the extrinsic evidence), after some event (perhaps an earthquake) has destroyed much of San Francisco, and California has been split into two states, NoCal and SoCal.The technology isn't as advanced as the digital matrix in Neuromancer", which was apparently set in the 2030's.

I felt like Gibson created a cool world for the story to take place in, but then just never wrote the story. A messenger nabs some VR glasses and gets the help of some ex-cop blah... who cares? He just never got me to care about the characters or their conflicts.I wanted to hear more about the dystopian California-states and the fancy VR itself, but then all Gibson wanted to talk about Berry and Chevette.3 stars purely because of the world Gibson dreamed up, but if you're looking for a good
