Description: Gibson coined the term "cyberspace" and envisioned both the Internet and virtual reality before either existed. Now, the bestselling author of "Neuromancer" returns with his hero from "Idoru" in a startling novel of a shift in time and cyberspace.

Review Quotes: "All Tomorrow's Parties is immensely engaging, alive on every page and as enjoyable a weekend entertainment as one could want."--The Washington Post Book World

"Gibson, one of science fiction's greatest literary stylists, is at his best [when] he offers visceral detail even when promising transcendent change--a moment in the near future when the fabric of daily life will twist profoundly."--Wired

"Moves at warp speed...[Gibson] is a witty and compelling storyteller."--Los Angeles Times

"[A] hard-edged and grimly beautiful piece of work."--Chicago Tribune

"Gibson has done it again."--Time Out New York

"A creepily plausible near-future of nanotechnology and virtual-reality pop idols, delineated in Gibson's customary diamond-sharp prose as the plot hurtles toward existential apocalypse."--Elle

"Ultra-cool cyberpunk...this familiar, vigorous, vividly realized scenario is set forth in the author's unique and astonishingly textured prose."--Kirkus Reviews

"Gibson's rich protopointillism coins a wireless future where reality is only proxy and proviso. Made all the more beautiful and frightening by its probability, and by characters who somehow tweeze hope from the polymer."--Chris Carter, creator of The X-Files
