Relation Concering 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

Notice Containing Books All Tomorrow's Parties (Bridge #3)

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."

"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

Whenever I need a dose of the future past, I turn to William Gibson. Im catching up. Soon Ill be able to read The Peripheral. But first we need to return to Northern California, circa sometime in the near future that never was. All Tomorrows Parties definitely has a conclusive feel to it. The Bridge trilogy has always felt somewhat laid-back in its connections across bookscharacters in common, vague references to events, but each book has been very much its own story. This has a lot to do with

I enjoyed reading this but unsure about any purpose or point. The whole thing seemed to hint at other things that might have been more interesting. Not even sure this could have made a 5 page comic strip for 2000AD.

Oh dear.As a conclusion to Gibsons Bridge Trilogy this was a disappointment. Virtual Light was OK and better than I remember. Idoru was markedly better than I recalled and stands up well to a contemporary reread. All Tomorrows Parties falls just a little flat in comparison.This is Gibson tying up his loose ends and plot points. We have a cast of characters returning from the previous two books in the series, and as usual theres a MacGuffin involved. Here Gibson engages with nanotech and 3d

My dad was able to get along with just about any kind of person on earth, constitutionally, and I think also because he got heavy into drugs in his youth and drugs are, like the old secretive underground gay culture, a levelling mechanism, the dealer's being a place where all the classes meet, like in the Velvet Underground's "Waiting for the Man". My dad knew this guy, another Freddie, as he was, Freddie Facious, something like that. Who knows how they met. I barely remember it, as it was long,
