This week, W. F. Howes are due to publish a new UK audiobook edition of MONA LISA OVERDRIVE by William Gibson! Released on July 24th, it’s read by Jill Winternitz, Crystal Clarke, Haruka Abe, and Joshua Collins. Here’s the synopsis…
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…
MONA LISA OVERDRIVE is third novel in the author’s Sprawl series, which also includes the classic NEUROMANCER and COUNT ZERO — both of which are also out now in audiobooks, published by W. F. Howes — and BURNING CHROME (new audiobook due out in September).
