What this book is about

Gibson's Sprawl trilogy concludes as four storylines converge: a teenage girl being used as a decoy, an AI seeking transcendence, a former street kid turned data thief, and a man hunting a kidnapped star. The novel completes the transformation the Neuromancer trilogy began, moving from pure noir into something approaching mythology. Dense, rewarding, and visionary.
