William Gibson - Virtual Light

WILLIAM GIBSON
VIRTUAL LIGHT
PERFORMANCE BY PETER WELLER
A BANTAM BOOKS PRODUCTION

In Virtual Light, William Gibson, award-winning author of Mona Lisa Overdrive, looks into our near future, with his most fascinating tale to date, and brings it into sharp and darkly comic focus.

VIRTUAL LIGHT

Welcome to NoCal and SoCal, 2005, the uneasy sister-states of what used to be California, in a nation and society still divided along seismic fault lines of wealth and power. The millennium has come and gone, leaving in its wake only stunned survivors.

In Los Angeles, Berry Rydell is a former armed-response rent-a-cop now working for a bounty hunter. Chevette Washington is a bicycle messenger turned pickpocket who impulsively lifts a pair of innocent-looking sunglasses. What you can see through these high-tech specs can make you rich--or get you killed.

Now Berry and Chevette are on the run, zeroing in on the digitalized heart of DatAmerica, where pure information is the greatest high. And a mind can be a terrible thing to crash...

A tour de force of relentless suspense, daring insight, and graphic intensity, Virtual Light is a provocative and unforgettable portrait of life on the edge of the twenty-first century.

Peter Weller starred in the films RoboCop and RoboCop 2. Other credits include the films Naked Lunch and The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, and the original New York stage productions of Streamers and Sticks and Bones.
