A review by dzengota
Idoru by William Gibson
4.0
While not as sharp as Virtual Light, and not delivering as fully on the philosophical promise of adaptive AIs and their sociological implications, Idoru still continues the form and vibe of the Bridge trilogy extremely well.
This book has some of my favorite cynical impressions of the future. I love popstar fanclubs as international corporations. I love international corporations as celebrity obsessed stalkers. And I especially love clubs entirely tone-deaf to the implications of being themed around Franz Kafka.
