Mona Lisa Overdrive
Synopsis
Eight years after the events of Count Zero, William Gibson brings the Sprawl trilogy to a close by weaving together four storylines: Mona, a teenage prostitute drawn into a scheme targeting Sense/Net star Angie Mitchell; Kumiko, the daughter of a Yakuza boss sent to London for her own safety amid a gang war; Slick Henry, a reclusive artist and convicted car thief building robotic sculptures in the poisoned industrial wastes of the Dog Solitude; and Angie Mitchell herself, whose biosoft-altered brain lets her enter cyberspace unaided.
Corporate espionage, artificial intelligence, and the fate of the Matrix's ruling powers draw all four together in Mona Lisa Overdrive, the concluding volume of Gibson's genre-defining Sprawl trilogy.
