Mona Lisa Overdrive

Set eight years after the events of Count Zero, this cyberpunk novel weaves together multiple narrative threads in the digital underworld. A young prostitute is manipulated into a corporate abduction plot involving a famous simstim star, while a yakuza boss sends his daughter to London for safety. As these diverse characters converge in a polluted wasteland, retired mercenaries and rogue artificial intelligences collide in cyberspace. This conclusion to the Sprawl trilogy explores themes of identity, corporate control, and technological transcendence.
