“Uma jornada sensual e visualmente impressionante, repleta de demonstrações de imaginação conceitual e humor.” – The Guardian
Verity Jane se mete em problemas quando a IA avançada que deveria testar desaparece de repente. Presa em um contrato com uma gigante de tecnologia, a garota descobre que o teste pode ser muito mais perigoso do que imaginava e deve partir em busca de respostas com possíveis desdobramentos políticos e militares irreversíveis.
Enquanto isso, cem anos na frente, o relações públicas Wilf Netherton trabalha para gerir a crise no passado enquanto tenta evitar que os acontecimentos no mundo de Verity atinjam um ponto de catástrofe sem retorno.
No segundo volume da Trilogia Jackpot, William Gibson volta a imaginar realidades paralelas em que as linhas temporais foram separadas e os acontecimentos no futuro podem mudar o passado, mas não o contrário.
About the author
Gibson, William
William Ford Gibson is an American and Canadian speculative fiction writer and essayist widely credited with pioneering the science fiction subgenre known as cyberpunk, a category from which he has repeatedly distanced himself. Beginning his writing career in the late 1970s, his early works were noir, near-future stories that explored the effects of technology, cybernetics, and computer networks on humans, a "combination of lowlife and high tech"—and helped to create an iconography for the Information Age before the ubiquity of the Internet in the 1990s.
