Soon after, Alfred Hitchcock made a film version of Rebecca that soon became an even greater success than the novel itself. There are many opinions as to which version is more effective. I...

Main Characters Popular Culture
1,779 wordsIdoru by william gibson is nothing less than an awe-inspiring book for me. no other author that i have come across can inspire one to recreate visions of reality at the turn of every page. Gibsons books are all compelling; neuromancer (1984) needing perhaps a special mention; as this book single handedly created the cyberpunk genre, aswell as coining phrases such as cyberspace. However, as one of his later works (1996), we are able to find within Idoru's more contemporary exploration of our worl...
