Chronicle As Books All Tomorrow's Parties (Bridge #3)

Although Colin Laney (from Gibson's earlier novel Idoru) lives in a cardboard box, he has the power to change the world. Thanks to an experimental drug that he received during his youth, Colin can see "nodal points" in the vast streams of data that make up the worldwide computer network. Nodal points are rare but significant events in history that forever change society, even though they might not be recognizable as such when they occur. Colin isn't quite sure what's going to happen when society reaches this latest nodal point, but he knows it's going to be big. And he knows it's going to occur on the Bay Bridge in San Francisco, which has been home to a sort of SoHo-esque shantytown since an earthquake rendered it structurally unsound to carry traffic.

Although All Tomorrow's Parties includes characters from two of Gibson's earlier novels, it's not a direct sequel to either. It's a stand-alone book.--Craig E. Engler

Critique Regarding Books All Tomorrow's Parties (Bridge #3)

This review contains spoilers. The conclusion of "The Bridge Trilogy" was bittersweet for me. I very much enjoyed watching Rydell, the down-on-his-luck failed cop cum security guard, stumble his way through Gibson's world and continue to land on his feet while playing pivotal roles in events too large for him to really comprehend. That ability to land on his feet is what prevents Rydell from attaining his goal of being on the reality-show "Cops in Trouble". I also enjoyed Chevette, the

Possibly my favorite of the "Bridge" trilogy. Chevette and Barry return, changed but still very much themselves. The characters we meet throughout the book are interesting, except Laney, who took bland to new levels. The plot was easier to follow, though I'm hard-pressed to remember it. (I'll give this review a re-write after I re-read the book.) This is a great prequel, bridging (har har) the modern (well, '80s) world and the future of "Neuromancer."

Elaborate ConclusionAll Tomorrow's Parties" is the third and final volume in William Gibson's Bridge Trilogy". It elaborates on the two worlds that were introduced to us in the earlier novels one in Japan, and the other the world of the bridge in San Francisco.There are far more characters in this novel, even if weve met them in one or other of the previous works. Gibson pursues each of them to the logical limit, once again in alternating narratives (though they're not limited to two).Dick and

Gibson's deliberately cool, crisp writing--it conjures using an intense _specificity_ and delectable word choice--conflicts with the frequently grubby and detritus-laden settings of his stories.This is the end of something. The "interstitial" society of the Bridge is becoming contaminated by the larger culture, in the form of tourists and commercial/media observation and outside investment and involvement. The counterculture is becoming the culture and being absorbed or at least encroached upon

Titling your novel after a hip for a newfangled piece of future technology? That'll get the attention of the cool kids. Naming the second book in the trilogy with some funny sounding Japanese name will bring in the people who like exotic stuff or think its some weird ghost horror story. But naming your third book after a Velvet Underground song intoned by the never less than serious sounding Nico? Now we mean business.As a writer, Gibson is often accused of crafting interesting settings and



"The past is past, the future unformed.""Something at once noun and verb.While Laney, plunging, eyes wide against the pressure of information knows himself to be merely adjectival....""Is a world within the world, and, if there be such places between the things of the world, places built in the gaps, then surely there are things there, and places between them, and things in those places too.""All his life Laney has heard talk of the death of history, but confronted with the literal shape of all
