Idoru

Style and Technique

William Gibson's novel «Idoru» is written in the author's characteristic cyberpunk style, blending elements of science fiction and social critique. Gibson's style is marked by dense and rich language, with the use of technological terms and neologisms, creating a futuristic atmosphere. The language of the work is often fragmented and multilayered, reflecting the complexity and chaos of the world in which the action unfolds. Literary techniques include the use of internal monologue, allowing for a deeper exploration of the characters' inner worlds. The narrative structure is nonlinear, with parallel storylines that gradually intertwine, creating a complex web of interactions. Gibson masterfully uses descriptions to create visually rich scenes that help the reader immerse themselves in the future world. The book also features the theme of human and technology interaction, which is central to Gibson's work.
