Summary

A gripping techno-thriller by William Gibson, best-selling author of Neuromancer.

Tokyo, post-event:

After an attack of scruples, Colin Laney's skipped out on his former employer Slitscan—avoiding the rash of media lawyers sent his way—and taken a job for the outfit managing Japanese rock duo, Lo/Rez. Rez has announced he's going to marry an "idoru" by the name of Rei Toi—she exists only in virtual reality—and this creates complications that Laney, a net runner, is supposed to sort out. But when Chai, part of Lo/Rez's fan club, turns up unaware that she's carrying illegal nanoware for the Russian Kombinat, Laney's scruples nudge him towards trouble all over again. And this time, lawyers'll be the least of his worries....

I love the story. I just can't enjoy the narration. I've left a more detailed review of the Trilogy with my review of All Tomorrows Parties.
it's really just an expression of my disappointment with how the wonderful text didn't get the narrator it deserved.

Very poor narrator.
