The thrilling conclusion to William Gibson’s classic Sprawl Trilogy,
which began with the groundbreaking Neuromancer and “open[ed] up a
new genre” (San Francisco Chronicle) “Brilliant, gritty, densely
textured.”—Kirkus Reviews Enter the uniquely prescient world of
the Sprawl—lyric and mechanical, sensual and violent, sobering and
exciting—where multinational corporations and high-tech outlaws vie
for power, traveling into the computer-generated universe known as
cyberspace. Into this world comes Mona, a young girl with a murky past
and an uncertain future whose life is on a collision course with
internationally famous virtual reality star Angie Mitchell. Since
childhood, Angie has been able to tap into cyberspace without a
computer. Now, from inside cyberspace, a kidnapping plot is
masterminded by a phantom entity who has plans for Mona, Angie, and
all humanity, plans that cannot be controlled . . . or even known. And
behind the intrigue lurks the shadowy Yakuza, the powerful Japanese
criminal syndicate, whose leaders ruthlessly manipulate people and
events to suit their own purposes. But even the Yakuza is no match for
the machinations of an opaque artificial intelligence, whose goals no
human can hope to comprehend. Don't miss any of the Sprawl Trilogy
