Virtual Light Hardcover Book Signed by WILLIAM GIBSON, First Edition. SIGNED by the Author; 1993 First Edition, First Print; Like New!!! Basically, it is a story about bicycle couriers in a near-future San Francisco. Although very keen on the newest achievements of electronic and information technology, this book is more like a ‘post-cyberpunk’ than a conventional cyberpunk novel. In fact, the book is almost light-hearted, in places. Virtual Light contains post-apocalyptic anarchy, protagonists immersed in and dealing with this anarchy, shadowy evil power structures which threaten to wreck them at every turn, memorable supporting characters with one or two gimicks, interesting technological gadgetry and effects, and just a general attitude that says “don’t mess wit me, monkey-man!
