Synopsis "All Tomorrow's Parties (Bridge Trilogy) "

“The ferociously talented Gibson delivers his signature mélange of technopop splendor and post-industrial squalor” (Time) in this New York Times bestseller that features his hero from Idoru...Colin Laney, sensitive to patterns of information like no one else on earth, currently resides in a cardboard box in Tokyo. His body shakes with fever dreams, but his mind roams free as always, and he knows something is about to happen. Not in Tokyo; he will not see this thing himself. Something is about to happen in San Francisco.   The mists make it easy to hide, if hiding is what you want, and even at the best of times reality there seems to shift. A gray man moves elegantly through the mists, leaving bodies in his wake, so that a tide of absences alerts Laney to his presence. A boy named Silencio does not speak, but flies through webs of cyber-information in search of the one object that has seized his imagination. And Rei Toi, the Japanese Idoru, continues her study of all things human. She herself is not human, not quite, but she’s working on it. And in the mists of San Francisco, at this rare moment in history, who is to say what is or is not impossible...

William Gibson es uno de los escritores de ciencia ficción más influyentes y elogiados del mundo. Es autor de doce novelas (incluyendo La máquina diferencial coescrita con Bruce Sterling), una antología de relatos (Quemando cromo) y una colección de ensayos (Distrust That Particular Flavor). Considerado un visionario, difunde un potente discurso acerca de nuestros deseos culturales, miedos y obsesiones sobre temas como las multinacionales, la política global, los datos computarizados, la ingeniería genética, la cibernética, el miedo a lo tecnológico y, en última instancia, el significado de ser humano en una era infinitamente compleja.

Su famosa novela Neuromante acuñó el término «ciberespacio» y nos ofreció la primera aproximación a Internet. En siguientes obras superventas, Gibson nos ofreció descripciones proféticas y convincentes de lo que sería la prensa del corazón, la tele realidad y la nanotecnología. Su obra se ha visto influida por la de otros autores y académicos, además de por la tecnología, la cultura popular, el arte y la música. Gibson también ha colaborado en numerosas ocasiones en el campo de las artes escénicas, la música y el cine. Actualmente vive en Vancouver con su mujer.
