5.0 out of 5 stars Bumping up the Overdrive Average (Two Stars! Ha! ), 6 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Gibson unites the themes and characters of Neuromancer and Count Zero in a blaze of icy glory. From the contaminated iron wastelands of the Sprawl to the cold anachronism of an aging London. From the endless internal landscapes of a huge lump of biochip to the attenuated life of the world's biggest star. Gibson takes us on a sad, elegant and sublime journey round the world and inside the dreams of man and machine. If you haven't met Molly, Bobby Zero, the Finn, Angie or 3-Jane before, you'll want to read the first two books to find out about them (They'll linger in your mind until you do). If you're already aquainted, you'll be pleased to hear that Gibson hasn't lost his touch with the either the old folk, or the new, introduced in this book. His themes, characters and style have matured, growing a little more abstract and difficult to handle. But hey, so have I and so does life! Indeed it's the aching similarities between the artificial reality that Gibson has created and the real thing which make this a work of literature and a thing of beauty. FIVE BIG, FAT, JUICY STARS for Mona Lisa Overdrive

5.0 out of 5 stars POETIC DREAMSCAPES OF A DISTOPIC FUTURE...(Part 3), 27 Sep 2007
By NeuroSplicer (Freeside, in geosynchronous orbit) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Mona Lisa Overdrive (Paperback)
I have read this masterpiece (together with the other two of the Sprawl series: NEUROMANCER and COUNT ZERO) during my university years, about a decade ago. Since then I have re-read it countless times.

Many a times the third book of a trilogy is published only to fulfill contractual obligations: this is definitely NOT the case here. Every one of those three is a standalone masterpiece.
Sure, the Sprawl trilogy defined cyberspace, wireheads, zaibatsu-controlled society and futuristic discontent. But this is not the reason why one enjoys these novels so much. It is the beautiful poetic language. The syncopated phrases. The direct effect of verbalized brand names. The noir feeling, rare at the time in a SF novel.

William Gibson had already reaped the fame and fortune from his first two novels. In this one you will find his images more bold, his phrases more relaxed and his writing more tight. Absolutely Beautiful!

Even reading only some pages brings up powerful imagery, unforgettable prose...

Start with Neuromancer. Then Count Zero. And finally this one.

A Masterpiece Trilogy!!! Own them all!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars More Cool in the Sprawl, 2 Dec 2004
It's just the way Gibson describes his universe. It's just so, COOL. Even with all the violence and socio-economic polarisation, I'd love the chance to be put there, assuming I was accompanied by a lethal street assassin that is.
