摘自 1997 年 9 月 Berkley 平装版扉页:21 世纪的东京,千禧年大地震之后。这里的现实本质是否发生了变化?还是某种狂暴的新事物即将降临……Colin Laney 来到这里寻找工作。他是凭借直觉搜寻 patterns of information 的捕手,即一个人仅凭日常生活所留下的“特征标记”。但 Laney 懂得如何筛选出危险的信息片段。这让他对某些人而言颇具价值。Chia McKenzie 则在此执行救援任务。她才 14 岁。她的偶像是歌手 R

看到标题我第一个想到的也是《虚拟偶像》(Idoru)。那是20年前写的了。吉布森早已屡屡证明自己有一种惊人诡异的预见性。
Idoru is also the first thing I thought of when I read the headline. It was written 20 years ago. Gibson has a proven record of being eerily prescient.
威廉·吉布森的《虚拟偶像》(Idoru)
Idoru by William Gibson
……《时间机器》(现在读依然非常能打,而且有些地方出奇地诡异且神预言)……(H. G. 威尔斯) - 《沙丘》(弗兰克·赫伯特) - 《霍比特人》(以及《指环王》)(托尔金) - 《神经漫游者》(威廉·吉布森) - 《虚拟偶像》(Idoru)、《明日之星》(All Tomorrow's Parties)(我是先看了《虚拟偶像》,所以还没看《虚拟之光》)(也是吉布森) - 《差分机》(吉布森,斯特林) - 《雪崩》(尼尔·斯蒂芬森) - 《编码宝典》(同上)……
…Time Machine (still holds up very well, and seems strangely eerie and prescient in places)... (H. G. Wells) - Dune (Frank Herbert) - The Hobbit (and LotR) (Tolkien) - Neuromancer (William Gibson) - Idoru, All Tomorrow's Parties (I picked up Idoru first, so I haven't yet read Virtual Light) (also Gibson) - The Difference Engine (Gibson, Sterling) - Snow Crash (Neal Stephenson) - Cryptonomicon (" ")…
是啊,我没读过《幽灵之国》(Spook Country),但我读了《模式识别》(Pattern Recognition)……我不怎么喜欢吉布森现在的写作走向。《虚拟偶像》(Idoru)和桥梁三部曲(不管是叫这名字还是啥)当年多酷啊。
Yeah, I haven't read Spook Country but I did read Pattern Recognition...I don't like the direction Gibson's going in. Idoru and the Bridge series or whatever it was called was cool.
……提前一百年被释放到世上。书里探讨了一些有趣的想法。至于其他书,我其实挺喜欢 Gibson 的一些新作(《桥梁三部曲》:《Virtual Light》《Idoru》和《All Tomorrows Party》),不过我看到很多人说他的其他作品都不如《Neuromancer》。
…ones) were unleashed on the world a hundred years early. Some interesting ideas are explored. As for other books, I actually enjoyed some of Gibsons newer stuff (The Bridge Trilogy: "Virtual Light", "Idoru" and "All Tomorrows Party"), though I've seen a lot of people say non of his other stuff was as good as Neuromancer.
……还有推荐尼尔·斯蒂芬森以及威廉·吉布森的“蔓生三部曲”(Sprawl Trilogy)。吉布森的《边缘世界》(The Peripheral),以及《模式识别》、《零历史》(Zero History)和《幽灵之国》也全都符合要求。他的《虚拟偶像》(Idoru)、《虚拟之光》(Virtual Light)和《明日之星》(All Tomorrow's Parties)同样如此。最后,鉴于故事线,吉布森和斯特林的《差分机》(The Difference Engine)——第一部也是迄今最棒的蒸汽朋克小说——也算一本。
…and the Neal Stephenson and William Gibson Sprawl Trilogy recommendations. Gibson's The Peripheral, as well as Pattern Recognition, Zero History, and Spook Country all apply, as well. Same for his Idoru, Virtual Light, and All Tomorrow's Parties. Finally, Gibson and Sterling's The Difference Engine - the first and, so far, best steampunk novel - also qualifies, given the storyline.
