Streamlined Virtual Light (Bridge Trilogy Book 1) Title for Target Audience

VIRTUAL LIGHT, A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, PUBLISHED IN 2005, INVITES READERS INTO THE UNEASY SISTER-STATES OF NOCAL AND SOCAL, THE REMNANTS OF WHAT WAS ONCE CALIFORNIA. THE MILLENNIUM HAS PASSED, LEAVING BEHIND ONLY STUNNED SURVIVORS.

IN LOS ANGELES, BERRY RYDELL, A FORMER ARMED-RESPONSE RENTACOP, NOW WORKS FOR A BOUNTY HUNTER. CHEVETTE WASHINGTON, A BICYCLE MESSENGER TURNED PICKPOCKET, IMPULSIVELY SNATCHES A PAIR OF INNOCENT-LOOKING SUNGLASSES. HOWEVER, THESE ARE NO ORDINARY SHADES - WHAT CAN BE SEEN THROUGH THESE HIGH-TECH SPECS CAN MAKE ONE RICH OR GET THEM KILLED.

NOW, BERRY AND CHEVETTE FIND THEMSELVES 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.

CRITICS HAVE PRAISED VIRTUAL LIGHT, STATING THAT IT IS "BOTH EXHILARATING AND TERRIFYING," AND THAT ALTHOUGH GIBSON IS CONSIDERED THE MASTER OF 'CYBERPUNK' SCIENCE FICTION, HE IS ALSO "A FINE SUSPENSE WRITER." THE BOOK HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS "A STUNNER" AND "A TERRIFICALLY STYLISH BURST OF KICK-BUTT IMAGINATION," WITH A "SENSE OF CRAFT, A SENSE OF HUMOR, AND A SENSE OF THE ULTIMATE SERIOUSNESS OF THE PROBLEMS IT EXPLORES."

IN THE EMERGING POP CULTURE OF THE INFORMATION AGE, GIBSON HAS BEEN HAILED AS "THE BRIGHTEST STAR," CAPTIVATING READERS WITH HIS VISION OF A FUTURE WHERE INFORMATION IS POWER, AND DANGER LURKS AROUND EVERY CORNER.
