Virtual Light

Virtual Light is a science fiction novel by William Gibson, first published in 1993. Set in a near-future California shaped by a major earthquake, it follows a bicycle messenger who comes into possession of advanced “virtual light” glasses and is pursued by competing private and official interests. Critics and scholars have frequently discussed the novel’s depiction of improvised urban space and precarious community, particularly its settlement on the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, as well as its attention to surveillance and the privatization of public life. Virtual Light was a finalist for the 1994 Hugo Award for Best Novel and placed fourth in the 1994 Locus Poll Award for science fiction novel.
