Characters
The novels of the Bridge trilogy share a common cast of characters. Most prevalent are former cop (and former security guard) Berry Rydell, and bicycle courier Chevette Washington. Researcher Colin Laney, who has a mysterious ability to identify patterns in vast tracts of information, appears in All Tomorrow's Parties and is the main protagonist of Idoru. Another recurring character is Rei Toei, the "virtual idol", an AI pop star. Also, certain characters in each novel interact in a cyberspace construct of Kowloon Walled City, which is initially described as an inverted kill file.
