The Bridge trilogy is the second trilogy of science fiction novels by [[
The Bridge trilogy is set primarily in the cities of San Francisco and Tokyo after a major earthquake that caused the Oakland Bay Bridge to be abandoned and then rebuilt as a shantytown of sorts. Tokyo, on the other hand, was rebuilt using nanotechnology and is, in many way, more impressive than it was before the quake. The Bridge, from which the trilogy takes its name, is an important location in the first and third books, but not mentioned in the second.
Line 6:
The books in the Bridge trilogy are, in order, ''Virtual Light'' (1993), ''[[Idoru (Literature)]]'' (1996), and ''All Tomorrow's Parties'' (1999).

* [[Action Girl]]: Chevette Washington.
Line 15:
* [[Dystopia]]
* [[Femme Fatale]] - Rei Toei
* [[Hitman
* [[Science Marches On]]: The trilogy takes place in the early 2000s, and features things like nanotech construction and a gloves-and-goggles VR Internet, and ''once again'' Gibson failed to predict the rise of cell phones.
** He did however do a pretty good job with discussion boards, virtual stars and internet fandom.
* [[Shoot the Messenger]] - Chevette
* [[The Great Politics Mess
* [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]
* [[Zeerust]]: The aforementioned nanotech construction and gloves/goggles VR? Still not here, and we're long past the books' timeframe now.
