Book 2 of the Bridge Trilogy
Set mainly in a near-future Tokyo rebuilt after a major earthquake, Idoru follows two converging plotlines. Colin Laney, a former data analyst with an unusual ability to detect significant patterns in information, is hired to investigate Rez, one half of the rock duo Lo/Rez, after Rez announces his intention to marry Rei Toei, a virtual Japanese celebrity. Chia Pet McKenzie, a teenage fan from Seattle, travels to Tokyo to learn whether the rumor is true and becomes caught in a scheme involving illegal nanotechnology.
«The best novel William Gibson has ever written about the world we’re entering daily. Neuromancer made Gibson famous; Idoru cements that fame.» The Washington Post Book World
