"C'est quoi, c'est quand, c'est comment, aimer ?... Aimer, c'est ne pas comprendre, aimer c'est tomber, tomber jusqu'au fond l'un de l'autre. Même mon regard est à l'intérieur de ses yeux... Elle est ma pire ennemie peut-être, mais c'est ma femme, dans ma chair... Aimer, même quand on se fait du mal c'est se dire : mais c'est elle qui m'en fait... Aimer c'est se détester en se tenant la main."

Distrust that particular flavor

The flow of information is about to be disrupted...
;
Colin Laney, sensitive to patterns of information like no one else on earth, currently resides in a cardboard box in Tokyo. His body shakes with fever dreams, but his mind roams free as always, and he knows something is about to happen. Not in Tokyo; he will not see this thing himself. Something is about to happen in San Francisco...
;
The mists of San Francisco make it easy to hide, if hiding is what you want, and even at the best of times reality there seems to shift. A gray man moves elegantly through the mists, leaving bodies in his wake, so that a tide of absences alerts Laney to his presence. A boy named Silencio does not speak, but flies through webs of cyber-information in search of the one object that has seized his imagination. And Rei Toi, the Japanese Idoru, continues her study of all things human. She herself is not human, not quite, but she's working on it. And in the mists of San Francisco, at this rare moment in history, who is to say what is or is not impossible...

Après Neuromancien et Comte zero, Mona Lisa disjoncte conclut une trilogie qui a révolutionné la science-fiction

Trilogie Neuromantique

C'est un monde crépitant et précipité, ivre et bariolé. Saturé de drogues synthétiques, d'informations truquées, de rebuts technologiques. Là-bas, les adolescents se font greffer des yeux artificiels, des crocs de dobermans. Depuis leurs consoles, les pirates informatiques pillent les matrices à coup de virus tueurs. On y trafique de tout : secrets militaires et tranches de silicium, hallucinations et gènes mutants, espoir et oubli... Vivre fort, vivre vite, sous le regard froid des « zaïbatsus », les multinationales qui orchestrent le moindre soubresaut de ce grand bazar hystérique et rutilant. C'est un monde de merveilles et de folie, qui ressemble tellement au nôtre...

Before email, before the world wide web, before hackers, Before sexting, before always-on GPS, before titanium implants, before Alexa, Cortana, and Siri, before the computer in your pocket was more powerful than the one that sent astronauts to the moon, there was cyberpunk. And science fiction was never the same. Cyberpunk writers-serious, smart, and courageous in the face of change-exposed the naiveté of a society rushing headlong into technological unknowns. Technology could not save us, they argued, and it might in fact ruin us. Now, thirty years after The Movement party-crashed the scene, the cyberpunk reality has largely come to be. The future they imagined is here. With an introduction by Victoria Blake and stories by: William Gibson, Bruce Sterling, Jonathan Lethem, Kim Stanley Robinson, David Marusek, Benjamin Parzybok, Cat Rambo, Paul Tremblay, Pat Cadigan, Gwyneth Jones, Mark Teppo, Greg Bear, Lewis Shiner, Rudy Rucker, James Patrick Kelly, John Shirley, Daniel H. Wilson, Paul Di Filippo, and Cory Doctorow. Welcome to your cyberpunk world.

Cyberpunk

1855: The Industrial Revolution is in full and inexorable swing, powered by steam-driven cybernetic Engines. Charles Babbage perfects his Analytical Engine and the computer age arrives a century ahead of its time. And three extraordinary characters race toward a rendezvous with history - and the future: Sybil Gerard - dishonored woman and daughter of a Luddite agitator; Edward "Leviathan" Mallory - explorer and paleontologist; Laurence Oliphant - diplomat and spy. Their adventure begins with the discovery of a box of punched Engine cards of unknown origin and purpose. Cards someone wants badly enough to kill for...Part detective story, part historical thriller, The Difference Engine is the first collaborative novel by two of the most brilliant and controversial science fiction authors of our time. Provocative, compelling, intensely imagined, it is a startling extension of Gibson's and Sterling's unique visions - in a new and totally unexpected direction!
