Synopsis

In the final volume of the Sprawl trilogy, four seemingly unrelated stories converge: a yakuza boss hides his daughter in a London slum, a young artist creates mysterious assemblages, a streetwise girl rescues a comatose body from a famous cyberspace cowboy, and Mona, a young prostitute, is being groomed to replace a famous simstim star. Their fates intertwine in a world where cyberspace and reality are merging in unprecedented ways.
