Summary

The ghost was her father's parting gift, presented by a black-clad secretary in a departure lounge at Narita.

Mona is a young girl with a murky past and an uncertain future whose life is turned upside down when her pimp sells her to a plastic surgeon in New York and overnight she's turned into someone else.

Angie Mitchell is a famous Hollywood Sense/Net star with a special talent. And despite the efforts of studio bosses to keep her in ignorance, Angie's started remembering things. Soon she'll discover who she really is...and why she doesn't need a deck in order to enter cyberspace.

From inside the matrix, plots are set in motion and human beings are being played like pieces on a board. And behind the intrigue lurks the shadowy Yazuka, the powerful Japanese underworld, whose leaders ruthlessly manipulate people and events to suit their own purposes.

Or so they think....

If you're looking for Neuromancer - it's a different book, but a very satisfying one. The world building is obviously exceptional and astonishingly prescient. We follow well-drawn characters through extremely interesting scenes and decisions towards a final showdown across multiple dimensions. Questions are answered and threads pulled together. The pace is different but I enjoyed slowing down a bit at first, getting to know the characters and the details of the world and being primed for the Ah Ha moments to come. Let it take you and enjoy.

Having been an audible subscriber for over a decade, I can unequivocally state that this is by far the worst narration of any book I've listened to. Basic words are mispronounced, and one narrator seems to be learning to read by reading this story, syllable-by-syllable. The story itself circles back to Case and Molly, but stands on its own. The narration however completely ruins the story, leaving you frustrated and disappointed.
