About the Author
William Gibson is an enormously influential science fiction author who revitalised the genre with his pioneering cyberpunk work of the 1980s and beyond. After a childhood in the United States he became deeply immersed in the 60s counterculture and moved to Canada to avoid being drafted to Vietnam; he has lived in Vancouver for over 50 years. Gibson began writing while a mature student at the University of British Columbia and had a breakthrough with ‘Burning Chrome’, a story published in 1982 in which he coined the term ‘cyberspace’. Although best known for near-future fiction such as Neuromancer (1984, Folio 2025), Gibson has also written alternative history, more realist fiction and graphic novels. Widely regarded as a visionary or ‘noir prophet’ of the digital age, Gibson has been acclaimed both within and beyond science fiction circles, winning a number of awards including the unprecedented ‘triple crown’ – Nebula, Hugo and Philip K. Dick awards – for a single novel, Neuromancer.
