The Incomparable Mothership

822: Jacket Into Cyberspace

Listen Later

William Gibson Book Club reconvenes to close out the legendary Sprawl trilogy with “Mona Lisa Overdrive,” a book in which there are lots of vibes from a lot of people who are secondary characters in a story being driven by an AI that we never really meet. Robot art projects! Many overlapping jackets, none of them the same size! And a car ride to… the future?! We break it all down.

"Mona Lisa Overdrive"

Jason Snell with Antony Johnston, Erika Ensign, Lisa Schmeiser and Glenn Fleishman
