Added DiffLines:

* ScarsAreForever: Downplayed. Molly/Sally has a long one on her belly after the match that got her to retire - her wired reflexes have slowed down as she's getting older and she almost died in that fight. When asked why she doesn't have it removed, she mentions she's keeping it to remind her that she's not as good a fighter as she used to be.

* TimeSkip: It’s been several years since ‘’Count Zero,’’ and well over a decade since ‘’Neuromancer,’’ such that the characters who do return have changed drastically; Angie Mitchell is now a sim-stim superstar; Bobby Newmark has married her, divorced her, and gone missing; Molly has mellowed a bit, changed her name to Sally Shears, and fills an older-mentor role rather than a sidekick one; and the Finn [[spoiler: has died, but left behind an A.I. construct of himself.]]

Has nothing to do with familiarity with in-universe fiction.

''Mona Lisa Overdrive'' by Creator/WilliamGibson is the third novel in Literature/TheSprawlTrilogy. Published in 1988, the book switches off between the interwoven stories of [[{{RevolvingDoorCasting}} four different protagonists]], who are each involved in a plot to kidnap famous sim-star Angie Mitchell: [[{{HookerWithAHeartOfGold}} Mona, an innocent young prostitute]]; Kumiko, the [[{{MafiaPrincess}} daughter of a Yakuza businessman]], Slick Henry, an ex-convict turned junk artist; and Angie herself, who has the unique power to enter the Matrix without a computer. Characters who return from the first two books include Angie and Bobby Newmark (from ''Literature/CountZero''), Molly from ''{{Literature/Neuromancer}}'' (now called Sally Shears), and the Finn, from both (well, sort of).
