Bridge trilogy : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bridge trilogy The Bridge trilogy is a series of novels by William Gibson, his second after the successful Sprawl trilogy. The trilogy comprises the novels ''Virtual Light'' (1993), ''Idoru,'' (1996) and ''All Tomorrow's Parties'' (1999). A prequel short story, "Skinner's Room", was originally composed for ''Visionary San Francisco'', a 1990 museum exhibition exploring the future of San Francisco. ==Setting==
The first book of the Bridge trilogy is set in an imaginary 2006, with the subsequent books set a few years later.〔Book Expo America Luncheon Talk, (William Gibson's blog, May 31, 2010 ).〕 The books deal with the race to control the beginnings of cyberspace technology and are set on the United States' West coast in a post-earthquake California (divided into the separate states of NoCal and SoCal), as well as a post-earthquake Tokyo, Japan, that had been rebuilt using nanotechnology. The trilogy derives its name from the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge, which was abandoned in an earthquake and has become a massive shantytown and a site of improvised shelter. The bridge becomes a pivotal location in ''Virtual Light'' and ''All Tomorrow's Parties.'' The 'bridge' may also be interpreted as a metaphor for the nascent technologies bridging contemporaneous life and the highly advanced future depicted in the Sprawl trilogy, where cyberspace and nanotechnology are fully developed and commonplace.
