Neal Stephenson is a blazing new force on the sci-fi scene. With the groundbreaking cyberpunk novel Snow Crash, he has "vaulted onto the literary stage." It weaves virtual reality, Sumerian myth, and just about everything in between with a cool, hip cybersensibility - in short, it is the gigathriller of the information age.

In sparkling Night City, a ragtag group of strangers have just pulled off a heist, robbing a convoy transporting a mysterious container belonging to Militech. The only thing the group has in common is that they were blackmailed into participating in the heist—and they have no idea just how far their mysterious employer's reach goes, or the purpose of the artifact they stole.

Story
In the 25th century, humankind has spread throughout the galaxy, monitored by the watchful eye of the U.N. While divisions in race, religion, and class still exist, advances in technology have redefined life itself. Now, assuming one can afford the expensive procedure, a person's consciousness can be stored in a cortical stack at the base of the brain and easily downloaded into a new body (or "sleeve") making death nothing more than a minor blip on a screen.

Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

A bit slow to start, but wow
The story is excellent and in the vein of Philip K Dick in dealing with technology that themes that didn't even exist in the 80's. Ahead of his time.
The narration is at times disorienting, as he struggles to keep accents and voices straight when there's no clear indicator of who's speaking in a conversation. It may be a minor gripe, as his pace and diction are very good.

Cyberpunk greatness
Mona Lisa Overdrive is a genre defining novel that should not be missed. It is the third novel in sprawl series and takes place 15 years after the book Neuromancer. This novel is filled with memorable characters and places. Read it. #Cyberpunk #Dystopian #SprawlSeries #Nostalgic #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

Traveling across vast innerscapes
Gripping and immersive, Mona Lisa Overdrive weaves together previous story lines. Like the particles described in Feynman diagrams, disparate characters collide and transition into their next phase, perpetually in motion.

A good finish to the story with room for more
An excellent finishing to the story that actually has a feel good ending. Allows room for the universe to expand to other content in the same context. While good still and a must read if not to just finish the series I'd say it was my least favorite in the trilogy, the characters meant less to me overall. Although Slick was intriguing, and I smiled at Mona's ending although I was dubious of her happiness lasting, who's to say.
I'd recommend the series for sure!

Can’t make up my mind…
Whether to think of this as a nice / okay continuation of the story of the previous two volumes - or as the weakest outing of the three.
The thing is, when you like, or find interesting a story setting and characters, it’s natural to want to read more. On the other hand, if it was a success, the author needs to survive, and it could come natural to them to just recount more from their thoughts in that world - so they come up with more. A win-win? I don’t know. Maybe in some cases, hints, insinuations, thoughts in volume 1 should really NOT lead to lengthy volumes 4, 5, 6. There are tons of examples of this out there: Dune! Foundation! Star Wars! and on and on!
But I’ll cut the author done slack here - mostly be a use the original work was so revolutionary, and this is “only” volume 3…

Intricate enough for several listens.
Where does Mona Lisa Overdrive rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This ranks in top 20 of 100+ books I've listened to. I am a big fan of Jonathan Davis, though, so this made a big difference.
What did you like best about this story?
The characters all had unique personalities, and the action kept things moving along fairly well, even though Gibson's stories are fairly cerebral.
Have you listened to any of Jonathan Davis’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Compared favorably to All Tomorrow's parties and The Windup Girl, both of which I listened to multiple times.
