Episode description

We are back from a long Hiatus with Part 1 of our two-parter on William Gibson's Idoru, book 2 in the Bridge Trilogy.  This book delves into themes of celebrity, and how it effects those in it's orbit, while utilizing some classic gibson cyberpunk tropes and characters to tell a phenomenal story.  We are joined, once again, by Geoff from Astronomica to help us get into it.  


The High Tech Low Life Podcast is a retrospective of cyberpunk fiction across all forms of media. Film, Television, Literature, Games, and Music are all on the table. In each episode we will revisit the property, it's influences, it's prescience, and enshrine it in the chrome and neon halls of Neo Valhalla.
