Mona Lisa Overdrive
Nebula Award nominee 1988, Hugo Award nominee 1989.
Mona's pimp sells her to a plastic surgeon in New
York and she's turned overnight into someone else. The pimp winds up
dead. Mona weeps for him. She's a sweet, dumb girl... so far. Angie
the famous Hollywood stim star has started remembering things. Despite
the efforts of studio bosses to keep her in ignorance, Angie will
discover who she really is... and why she doesn't need to jack into
the Matrix in order to enter cyberspace.
In the depths of the rustbelt,
the ring of steel garbage and toxic waste surrounding the Sprawl,
Gentry obsessively seeks the darkest secrets of the Matrix. Seeking
rapture. When an impossibly tall and powerful skyscraper of data
appears suddenly in the landscape of the Matrix, Gentry is ready for
it, Angie is part of it, and Mona is set for overdrive. Rapture is on
the agenda for all three, but others greedy for money and power will
fight them to the death.

William Gibson
William Gibson (born 1948) is an American-Canadian writer who has been called the ”noir prophet” of the cyberpunk subgenre of science fiction. Gibson coined the term ”cyberspace” in his short story ”Burning Chrome” and later popularized the concept in his debut novel, Neuromancer (1984). In envisaging cyberspace, Gibson created an iconography for the information age before the ubiquity of the Internet in the 1990s.
