Contributor(s):Author: William Gibson NEW YORK TIMES bestseller - 2005: Welcome to No Cal and So Cal, the uneasy sister-states of what used to be California.

The millennium has come and gone, leaving in its wake only stunned survivors.

In Los Angeles, Berry Rydell is a former armed-response rentacop now working for a bounty hunter.

Chevette Washington is a bicycle messenger turned pickpocket who impulsively snatches a pair of innocent-looking sunglasses.

But these are no ordinary shades.

What you can see through these high-tech specs can make you rich--or get you killed.

Now Berry and Chevette are on the run, zeroing in on the digitalized heart of Dat America, where pure information is the greatest high.

And a mind can be a terrible thing to crash.
