I need some help figuring out the title of a book I read years ago. It is a cyberpunk type of novel, one of the main characters is a teen-aged(?) girl living with her grandfather(?) in a shantytown built on the Golden Gate bridge. The few other bits I can remember: she rides a bike made of compressed paper with an electrifying anti-theft device on it. Last Edited on: 12/11/08 1:16 AM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

Cyberpunk set in San Francisco? Three names pop into my head. Pat Murphy (but it would have to be a short story as it isn't one of her novels.) Lisa Mason. Richard Kadrey's first two books. |

Just checked those three authors via Google and Amazon. Definitely not Pat Murphy or Lisa Mason. Richard Kadrey's "Metrophage" seems very familiar, but I don't think that's it, either. (Thanks for the tips on the authors, though -- I'll be checking them out!) Kadrey apparently posted "Metrophage" online for all to enjoy... http://www.voidspace.org.uk/cyberpunk/metrophage.shtml |

Mystery solved! For anyone interested, I just received a PM (don't know why they didn't post here...) -- the book is "Virtual Light" by William Gibson. Can't believe I couldn't remember that. |
