Bridge Trilogy

Gibson's next series of books takes place in a much more tame and probable future and is commonly referred to as the 'Bridge trilogy' because of the important role of the San Francisco Bay Bridge, which has been taken and is inhabited by the homeless. The trilogy consists of 'Virtual Light' (1993), 'Idoru' (1996), and 'All Tomorrow's Parties' (1999). In these stories, Gibson takes on various topics of the present and is very keen on technological advance and its usage. ¶
