About this book

“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

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.
