The lead singer of the rock band Lo/Rez wants to marry a computer personality construct, a decision that causes shock waves around the planet. A member of the Seattle branch of his fan club travels to Japan to determine whether the horrible rumor is true. However, can someone really marry a hologram? Is she real? And what does "real" mean anyway in the not-so-distant future?

Industry reviews
"Mr. Gibson has a remarkable insight into the minds of teen-age girls, and Chia, perhaps his most typical, is also one of his most winning creations, a Judy Blume heroine plopped down in the middle of a futuristic thriller."
New York Times Book Review - Laura Miller (09/08/1996)

"`Idoru' is a prophecy, a prayer for information baths that never drown the supplicant. It is also a text on paper, beautifully written, dense with metaphors that open the eyes to the new, dreamlike intensely imagined, deeply plausible. It is a profoundly cunning advertisement for a world whose enclosed spaces--and infinite domains within the skull--we had better be prepared to join in wedlock. For "Idoru" is also a marriage song."
Washington Post Book World - John Clute (10/27/1996)

"Humour is always a saving grace in Gibson, so too is his awareness of the beauty and potential of the technological world. There are affecting bursts of lyricism, particularly over the idea of the Walled City, a "hive of dreams", revolutionary in its self-governing potential...`Idoru' confirms Gibson as, virtually, a realist writer for the post-Net generation, offering us a new mimesis that opens windows on our on-screen world."
Times Literary Supplement - Paul Quinn (09/27/1996)

"Full of color, texture, and depth from beginning to end...His technology is both dazzling and disturbing. Gibson's style is vivid, graceful and dense. At the same time `Idoru' moves faster than the Roadrunner on crack. A wonderful story. Don't pass it up--even if you don't own a computer."
Village Voice - Poppy Z. Brite 

"...highly approachable, engaging, and persuasive."
Caras 

"Gibson is the Raymond Chandler of the digital age, noir master of the Web. `Idoru' is written with crackling style and hurtles forward with the speed of a bullet train."
Brite 

"Gibson fascinates us with speculation about what might be just beyond the millennium."
Toibin

IDORU by William Gibson SF Cyberpunk NEW Book On Tape



Idoru
by William Gibson

2 Cassettes ~ 3 Hours ~ Abridged
Read by Jay O'Sanders

NEW - Gift Quality - No remainder mark. We're happy to ship your gift direct for you if you choose

Chia is rock star Rez's biggest fan. Laney is an info-wrangler with one freak talent and a dubious past. When Rez announces his intention to "marry" an idoru, a fully virtual Japanese celebrity construct, Chia and Laney find themselves on a collision course in post-quake Tokyo. How "real" is the idoru? Real enough to die for, in the neon rain of a media-drenched future . . .

William Gibson was a genuine innovator. He has won the HUGO, NEBULA, and PHILIP K. DICK awards for his extraordinary novel, Neuromancer, and his writing has been called "fast-paced, literate, and funny" by People magazine. Gibson, says Rolling Stone, "has revitalized science fiction as no other single force in a generation.

"Gibson brings to the surface the beast that lurks behind the dense, surreal surface of pop culture, simultaneously as meaningful and empty as a video screen." - The Nation

"In the emerging pop culture of the information age, GIbson is the brightest star." - San Diego Union-Tribune
