The final novel, *Mona Lisa Overdrive* (1988), takes place 15 years after *Neuromancer* and 8 years after *Count Zero*. It brings back key characters like razor-girl Molly Millions and Bobby Newmark (now in a coma, his consciousness in an 'Aleph'), culminating the trilogy's themes of technological transcendence, digital immortality, and the blurring lines between human and machine intelligence.
