"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."

Zero History - a gripping technothriller from William Gibson, the bestselling author of Neuromancer 'An ideas-swarm, coated with a hipster glaze . . . to explore the everyday weirdness of the twenty-first century world'  Herald Hubertus Bigend, the Machiavellian head of global ad-agency Blue Ant, wants ex-musician Hollis Henry to uncover the maker of a secret, obscurely fashionable denim called 'The Gabriel Hounds'. Hollis knows nothing about fashion - which, curiously, is why Bigend hired her. Soon, though, it's clear that Bigend's interest in underground labels might have sinister applications. Powerful parties, who'll do anything to get into this territory, are showing their hand. And Hollis, as Bigend's representative, is about to find herself in the crossfire.

Set among London's dark and tangled streets, Zero History is a brilliant thriller about the hidden webs and patterns that underlie the new now.

William Gibson's first novel Neuromancer has sold more than six million copies worldwide. In an earlier story he had invented the term 'cyberspace'; a concept he developed in the novel, creating an iconography for the Information Age long before the invention of the Internet. The book won three major literary prizes. He has since written nine further novels including Count Zero; Mona Lisa Overdrive; The Difference Engine; Virtual Light; Idoru; All Tomorrow's Parties; Pattern Recognition; Spook Country and most recently Zero History. He is also the author of Distrust That Particular Flavor, a collection of non-fiction writing.

Zero history

Winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards, Neuromancer is a science fiction masterpiece--a classic that ranks as one of the twentieth century's most potent visions of the future.   Case was the sharpest data-thief in the matrix--until he crossed the wrong people and they crippled his nervous system, banishing him from cyberspace. Now a mysterious new employer has recruited him for a last-chance run at an unthinkably powerful artificial intelligence. With a dead man riding shotgun and Molly, a mirror-eyed street-samurai, to watch his back, Case is ready for the adventure that upped the ante on an entire genre of fiction.   Neuromancer was the first fully-realized glimpse of humankind's digital future--a shocking vision that has challenged our assumptions about technology and ourselves, reinvented the way we speak and think, and forever altered the landscape of our imaginations.

NEUROMANCER

"Colin Layne habite un carton dans les couloirs du métro à Tokyo, en partie détruite par un séisme et reconstruite grâce aux nanotechnologies. Son don et son expérience du réseau lui permettent, en s'immergeant dans les flux de données en transit sur la toile, de déchiffrer intuitivement les évènements en devenir.« Sans quitter les rives de la cyberculture, dont il fut un des pionniers, William Gibson renouvelle le genre avec ce roman, qui, sur fond de fracture sociale, navigue entre thriller et romance. » Frédérique Roussel, Libération"

Tomorrow's parties

The author of the ground-breaking science-fiction novels Neuromancer and Virtual Light returns with a fast-paced, high-density, cyber-punk thriller. As prophetic as it is exciting, Idoru takes us to 21st century Tokyo where both the promises of technology and the disasters of cyber-industrialism stand in stark contrast, where the haves and the have-nots find themselves walled apart, and where information and fame are the most valuable and dangerous currencies.When Rez, the lead singer for the rock band Lo/Rez is rumored to be engaged to an "idoru" or "idol singer" - an artificial celebrity creation of information software agents - 14-year-old Chia Pet McKenzie is sent by the band's fan club to Tokyo to uncover the facts. At the same time, Colin Laney, a data specialist for Slitscan television, uncovers and publicizes a network scandal. He flees to Tokyo to escape the network's wrath. As Chia struggles to find the truth, Colin struggles to preserve it, in a futuristic society so media-saturated that only computers hold the hope for imagination, hope and spirituality.

Un blouson hors mode conçu par le designer inconnu d'une ligne de vêtements connue pour ne pas être célèbre. Dans un temps où tout change à chaque nouvelle collection, cette permanence en fait un objet quasiment mythique. Engagée par le tout-puissant Bigend, qui « identifie les schémas » comme un chaman le labyrinthe sémantique du monde, l'ex-rockeuse Hollis va, de Londres à Paris, mener son enquête dans l'univers de la mode et des secrets militaires. Dans la continuité d'Identification des schémas et Code Source, Gibson poursuit avec Histoire zéro son exploration des sub-cultures nées des objets et des marques, et les mythologies qu'ils engendrent.

Histoire zéro

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...
