S'està carregant… Virtual Light (1993)de William Gibson
![]() No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Amb "Virtual Light" William Gibson comença una segona sèrie de tres llibres (anomenada la Trilogia del Pont), aquesta vegada amb un escenari més proper a l'actual que l'anterior Trilogia de l'Sprawl. Aquí Gibson se centra més en les comunitats que en les accions, descrivint una comunitat anarquista situada al Pont de San Francisco, abandonat després d’un terratrèmol, i les seves relacions amb la ciutat. També explora les tecnologies de la informació i l'impacte de l'avanç de la ciència en la societat. ( ![]()
From a thematic point of view, Virtual Light was perhaps the most overt of Gibson’s oeuvre at the time it was written. Leaving little doubt as to his aims, fundamentalist religions, the rudiments of cyberspace, economics’ nexus with society, and the influence of entertainment are all presented in one form or another. The climax of the story, while perhaps confusing for some given the oblique commentary, is nevertheless a punch square in the nose of media sensationalism and its effects on modern humanity.

2005: Welcome to NoCal and SoCal, the uneasy sister-states of what used to be California. Here the millenium has come and gone, leaving in its wake only stunned survivors. In Los Angeles, Berry Rydell is a former armed-response rentacop now working for a bounty hunter. Chevette Washington is a bicycle messenger turned pickpocket who impulsively snatches a pair of innocent-looking sunglasses. But these are no ordinary shades. 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...
