🎰 AffiliateServiceProvider - 不労所得獲得への道

Rei inhabits the virtual world, drawing experience from the well of all available human information. Modern life is not directed; it simply grows, often in complex and unintended directions. It is the digital equivalent of The Bridge — a virtual deadzone re-appropriated by the computing underground.{/INSERTKEYS}{/PARAGRAPH} Yet at the center of the novel lies the Walled City — a distributed virtual environment modeled after Kowloon Walled City which functions as a sort of off-the-grid hacker commune. This, the novel implies, allows Rei to remain relevant, to analyze the currents and patterns of human culture and so maintain celebrity indefinitely. The plot of Idoru concerns rumors that Rez, an aging rock star, wishes to marry Rei Toei, a Japanese virtual idol — the titular Idoru, a megacelebrity singer that is entirely a software construct. The marriage of Rez and Rei Toei is a bridging between the abstract density of data and the singular experience of wealth and celebrity leading towards some new creation: an organic personification of all available human experience. By capturing some of its natural strangeness, Gibson is able to use it as an exploration of his most commonly-recurring theme: the unexpected ways that ideas develop or are adapted into completely new phenomena. Gibson himself points out that his moments of imaginative creation were meant to address what he himself observed in the increasingly fracturing modern world. {PARAGRAPH}{INSERTKEYS}The novel is set in a near-future Tokyo, which has been partially reconstructed via nanotechnology following a massive earthquake. Society and technology do not meld seamlessly; they tangle into each other and emerge like some sort of Cronenbergian mutant. Tokyo itself has a reputation for being something of an aesthetic science fiction wonderland. Throughout Idoru we have, for example, one bar which preserves the post-apocalyptic atmosphere of the city post-quake and another, Kafka-themed, complete with insectile bar stools and bruised inmate waitresses.
