Welcome to NoCal and SoCal, the uneasy sister-states of what used to be California. Here the millennium 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 pick-pocket 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. </p> <p class="description">### From Publishers Weekly</p> <p class="description">Gibson's cyberpunk thriller set in a near-future L.A.--a two-week PW bestseller--depicts the hunt for virtual reality glasses containing classified data. <br>Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. <br></p></div> Bantam Spectra http://isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?53379 eng Novel hugo award for best novel finalist Cyberpunk Nanotechnology _isfdb 4 of 1994 Locus Award for Best SF Novel Nomination of 1994 Aurora Award for Best Long-Form Work in English / Meilleur livre en anglais Win of 1995 Aurora Award for Best Long-Form Work in English / Meilleur livre en anglais
