About William Gibson
William Gibson is an American‑Canadian writer who helped shape cyberpunk fiction; he coined “cyberspace” in his 1982 story “Burning Chrome” and popularized the “matrix” in his 1984 novel Neuromancer. He began writing in the late 1970s, producing noir, near‑future tales about how technology, cybernetics and computer networks affect people—a mix of “lowlife and high tech.” His early work is credited with renovating science‑fiction literature in the 1980s.
