'All Tomorrow's Parties' is the third novel in Gibson's latest 'Bridge trilogy'. As in 'Mona Lisa Overdrive', he brings together characters from the prequels 'Virtual Light' and 'Idoru'. The book takes place a few years after 'Idoru' in an imagined years 2015 to 2020. ¶ The 'Lucky Dragon Corporation' and their technology were obviously inspired by a visit in Singapore Gibson made for 'Wired' magazine for writing the article 'Disneyland With the Death Penalty'. The book's title is taken from a famous song by 'The Velvet Underground'. ¶ |
