William Gibson
Om författaren
William Gibson is an influential American-Canadian writer best known for his pioneering work in the cyberpunk genre. He gained fame with his 1984 novel "Neuromancer," which introduced readers to a dystopian future where technology and humanity intertwine in complex and often unsettling ways. Gibson's unique narrative style blends elements of science fiction with sharp social commentary, exploring themes of identity, consciousness, and the impact of technology on society. His works have not only shaped the cyberpunk aesthetic but have also predicted many aspects of modern digital culture, such as virtual reality and the internet.
