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.

Fortunately, Burton has his veteran's benefits, for neural damage he suffered from implants during his time in the USMC's elite Haptic Recon force.

The Difference Engine is an alternate history novel by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling. It is a prime example of the steampunk sub-genre; It posits a Victorian Britain in which great technological and social change has occurred after entrepreneurial inventor Charles Babbage succeeded in his ambition to build a mechanical computer called Engines. The fierce summer heat and pollution have driven the ruling class out of London and the resulting anarchy allows technology-hating Luddites to challenge the intellectual elite.

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.

"The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is the original title of a novel written by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson that was first published in 1886. It is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll and the misanthropic Edward Hyde. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" coming to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next.

Narrator is Fantastic
I'm diametrically opposed to the last reviewer's comments regarding Davis' narration.
Gibson's books contain a polyglot of races and accents. Davis is the perfect choice for these works as his ear for accents is nothing short of amazing. He's one of the few narrators who can manage southern, hispanic, and african-american accents and not force me to cringe.

Outstanding performance
Would you consider the audio edition of Mona Lisa Overdrive to be better than the print version?
The narrator delivers an outstanding performance. His voice, rythm and style are the best I've heard on Audible so far. He gives the characters distinct voices without sounding cheesy. Each character speaks with a unique dialect too (American, British, Japanese) and the Japanese words are pronounced perfectly.
Any additional comments?
Normally I am not into writing reviews, however this performance of one of my favorite books demands it.

Didn't think I could like anything as much as I liked Neuromancer, but this I like equally as much. The way this author balances entertainment with literary value, with poetry, it's just too amazing. I can't fathom it. And what an awesome ending!

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.

Really really really really really good.
Mystery in the streets and creatures hiding in cyberspace. Taking place two decades after the events of Neromancer, Mona Lisa Overdrive unfolding in front of your eyes. Tales of advanced designer drugs, gangs of suits and the elusive high of cyberspace.
Burning like novocaine in the tip of your tongue.
Three girls, one vampire, ghosts and a few familiar faces. This really is truly the sequel, to one of the greatest books of all time. Not a bad one either.

Great ending to a great trilogy
I had read the first book years ago and have now finally finished the trilogy and it was well worth it. It still stands up to today's technology (except for the telephones) and it was great to see Molly back in action again. The performance was also very well done with a great use of different voices.

Wonderful hypnotic voice and writing
Gibson’s poetic tight prose and the narrator’s smoothly hypnotic voice are well-matched. The characters are always differentiated so despite the many points of view, there is never any doubt as to whom is talking and to whom. Gibson is a great builder of alternate realities. And possibilities.

An excellent Audible experience
I first read this shortly after it's original publication in 1988 and enjoyed it enormously. Now, having Listened to the Audible performance nearly 30 years later, I'm astonished at how well it has held up. The technology still feels fresh and just-around-the-corner new. Plotting and action keeps your attention riveted. The narrator, Jonathan Davis, is terrific. His range of dialects and voice expression is incomparable.

It's a Trilogy! I'll do it justice next time!
I read Neuromancer many years ago, found it hard work but intriguing nonetheless. So when I saw another one of Gibson's books appear in one of Audible's special offers I though why not? Unusually for me I just assumed this was stand-alone and I think this took something away from it. If you're considering reading this without the other two I would say stop and get the others first.
Gibson has an interesting writing style. He hints at things often leaving the reader to fill in the background for themselves. Combined with this and the fact that me memory had little of Neuromancer left and nothing of the second book at all made this hard going. I gave it four stars because that mistake was mine but I probably only got 3 stars enjoyment out of it . . . if that makes sense!
Gibson is a clever writer though. I like the fact that he doesn't feel the need to handhold me through everything. The world of the Sprawl is not a pleasant one. The characters all have a detachment from their world borne of its nature. This most certainly isn't easy reading or for anyone who likes to warm to noble heroes. I'd also agree with some of the other reviewers that the pace and tonality of the narration, while it did fit the book very well, was on the slow and monotone side for me.
Despite all this, I will in a few years re-visit this, starting from the beginning of the trilogy of course. It's clever stuff, well thought out, and I want to do it justice next time!

Excellent
After listening to the neuromancer, I had to listen to Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive. Although different narrator (so need a few chapters to get used to), really enjoyed it.
As usual for Gibson it takes a few chapters to really understand what is going on, then as ur figuring it out it picks up pace, and as u finally work it out it concludes. Master author.

William Gibson Overdrive
Who was your favorite character and why?
Sally Shears; but if I tell you why I'd give something away...
What about Jonathan Davis’s performance did you like?
He is a very good narrator, ideal for this story.
Any additional comments?
The third volume in Gibson's Sprawl trilogy, this neatly closes the story began in Neuromancer and continued in Count Zero. It is not quite as good as Count Zero, yet still an excellent novel. Well worth a listen.

And thus Cyberpunk began ...
I enjoyed eaxh book in the trilogy. it is obvious whwre a lot of cyberpunk has come from and you will see much of it in this trilogy. Each book can be taken aeperately, but there is some flow acroas the trilogy. All that I can say is ... read and enjoy. As for the story. I enjoyed it when I firat read it and again listening too it.
