Cover of 'Virtual Light'

After finishing the Sprawl series, Gibson starts a new trilogy in a revised setting. 'Virtual Light' takes place in the near future and is more tame and more probable than his previous novels. Gibson's vivid style and his keenness on newest achievements of electronic and information technology evoke a tense and suspense vision of the future. ¶

The term 'Virtual Light' was coined by scientist Stephen Beck to describe a form of instrumentation that produces optical sensations directly in the eye without the use of photons. ¶
