Summary:
"William Gibson's rich protopointillism coins a wireless future where
reality is only proxy and proviso. Made all the more beautiful and
frightening by its probability, and by characters who somehow tweeze
hope from the polymer." --Chris Carter, creator of The X-Files"One of
science fiction's greatest literary stylists...Gibson wouldn't be
Gibson if he spelled it out, if he eliminated all the ambiguity. His
specialty is hanging on to that fractal edge without ever going over
the brink." --Wired Magazine"All Tomorrow's Parties hits on all
cylinders." --Seattle Times"More ultra-cool cyberpunk... This
familiar, vigorous, vividly realized scenario is set forth in the
author's unique and astonishingly textured prose." --Kirkus
Reviews"The post modern gospel according to Gibson, the patron saint
of cyberpunk literature." --Entertainment Weekly"It's as if Raymond
Chandler had written a novel in which Philip Marlowe drops acid,
learns Microsoft Word 98 and winds up eating Thai food at a funky San
Francisco dive...the most delicious of reads: genre with real
literary spunk." --New York Daily News"All Tomorrow's Parties is
immensely engaging, alive on every page and as enjoyable a weekend
entertainment as one could want."--The Washington Post Book World
