For the Japanese phenomenon, see Japanese idol. Idoru is the second book in William Gibson's Bridge trilogy. Idoru is a science-fiction novel set in a postmodern, dystopian, cyberpunk future. The main character, Colin
Laney has a talent for identifying nodal points, analogous to Gibson's own:
Laney’s node-spotter function [from Idoru] is some sort of metaphor for whatever it is that I actually do. There are bits of the literal future right here, right now, if you know how to look for them. Although I can’t tell you how; it’s a non-rational process.[1]
As of 2006, an anime adaptation of Idoru is rumoured to be in the early stages of development.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idoruhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_idol
