Query: another win for Gibson

Once you get used to Gibson's trademark scene-switching and confusing locations, IDORU works beautifully. It has a fairly lean plot and an elegant device that eventually links the point of view of two rather disparate characters. Once again, the post-apocalyptic/sushi-bar/virtual-reality world sucks the reader in. Some of Gibson's descriptions are simply breath-taking, especially the description of a Venice virtual-reality program that evokes the essence of Venice in winter.The only problem I had with IDORU is that it didn't go far enough and the action was over before the core concept (artificial intelligence merging with a rock star) ever took hold. It's also difficult to believe that the 14-year-old heroine has the wherewithal to travel to Japan by herself, but that's a relatively minor (hahaha) issue.All in all, this book is a great one for anyone who enjoys a look at the possible future of computers.
