The Gold Coast (1988) is book two in KSR's triptych. Set in 2027, Orange County CA is full of shopping malls, industrial development, massive residential buildings and the autopia - multi-level electric/magnetic roads filled with programmable self-driving cars. It is a concrete jungle.
I thought this novel came together nicely at the end, in a similar way the first novel of this triptych did. I liked it but not as much as The Wild Shore.
