Description
Idoru, a gripping techno-thriller by William Gibson, explores the intersection of technology and humanity in a world where virtual reality has become indistinguishable from reality itself.
When Japanese rock star Rez announces his plans to marry an 'idoru' named Rei Toi, who exists only in virtual reality, net runner Colin Laney is drawn into a complex web of intrigue. As he navigates the blurred lines between the physical and digital worlds, Laney must confront his own scruples and the darker forces that seek to exploit the idoru for their own gain.
William Gibson's masterful storytelling weaves together themes of identity, power, and control in a narrative that is both thought-provoking and exhilarating. If you enjoy techno-thrillers with complex characters and intricate plots, Idoru is an excellent choice.
