Sprawl Series / Mona Lisa Overdrive / William Gibson

Mona Lisa Overdrive – lyrical and mechanical, erotic and violent, sobering and exciting…… Multinational corporations and high-tech criminals vie for power and travel to the computer-generated universe known as cyberspace. Into this world comes Mona, a young girl with a dark past and an uncertain future whose life is on a collision course with internationally known Sense/Net star Angie Mitchell. Since childhood, Angie has been able to tap into cyberspace without a computer. Now, out of cyberspace, a kidnapping is being directed by a phantom who has plans for Mona, Angie and all of humanity, plans that cannot be controlled … or even known. And behind the intrigue lurks the shadowy Yakuza, the powerful Japanese underworld whose leaders ruthlessly manipulate people and events for their own ends … or so they think.
