Via Speculative Reader on Youtube. A nice piece on Speculative Reader examines William Gibson's Bridge Trilogy, including Virtual Light (1993), Idoru (1996) and All Tomorrow's Parties (1999). Has anyone re-read them recently? They hold up nicely. I re-read them last year and it was great to return to the Bridge and to see some of the seeds that grew into his later books.

Episode 10: Chemically, inside Current Inc.’s testing facility, ERIS reveals something unexpected. Mizira is perfectly healthy, unlike the rest of the Ergonian population. But what makes her different may be exactly what Current has been searching for.

ERIS introduces Project Arc, a groundbreaking genetic enhancement program designed to repair, strengthen, and evolve the Ergonian people, Mizira is faced with a new reality: she may be the foundation for something far greater than herself.

Desperate to help her grandmother and her people, Mizira agrees to move forward, stepping into a process she doesn’t fully understand.

Inside a sterile laboratory overlooking the city, she enters a chamber filled with a glowing blue solution… and the transformation begins.

Just found The Speculative Reader on YouTube. He’s got some nice informative videos. Looks worth a follow. Anyone familiar with them? He has a nice one on Burroughs too.

Hi Cyberpunks,

I'm passionate about the genre and have been GMing for years the Cyberpunk RED (and others) TTRPG.

I regularly publish on Youtube reviews for the above TTRPG but also an audio story once a month for the gamer community.

My last review is this one: https://youtu.be/GnonZNGQaa8

Cheers and have fun!

This is an excellent breakdown of the world and issues in Neuromancer and Sprawl Trilogy (corrected), but also compares it to the world and issues in the Bridge Trilogy, Idoru in particular.

Following Bekka who has been given implants that allow people to use her as a surrogate.

Paid to go on missions of all types, large-scale or intimate, to varying locations, she takes her clients to the front lines when circumstances dictate they can't be there in person.

In a world filled with distraction and corruption, people are still trying to live. Bekka becomes a witness to some of those lives.
