Idoru In Gibsons Book
1,875 wordsIdoru by william gibson is nothing less than an awe-in siring book for me. no other author that i have come across can inspire one to recreate visions of reality at the turn of every page. Gibsons books are all compelling; neuromancer (1984) needing perhaps a special mention; as this book single handedly created the cyberpunk genre, aswell as coining phrases such as "cyberspace". However, as one of his later works (1996), we are able to find within Idoru's more contempory exploration of our worl...

556 wordsA very interesting book this, and in my opinion, the best of Wyndham's novels.

It sold very well in the 1950's and found its way into the national consciousness and even onto the school curriculum, which is where I encountered it over a decade later. For some reason, people seemed able to relate to the idea of a bunch of intelligent, ambulatory giant plants taking over the...
