About the author

Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name. See this thread for more information.

William Ford Gibson is an American-Canadian writer who has been called the father of the cyberpunk subgenre of science fiction, having coined the term cyberspace in 1982 and popularized it in his first novel, Neuromancer (1984), which has sold more than 6.5 million copies worldwide.

While his early writing took the form of short stories, Gibson has since written nine critically acclaimed novels (one in collaboration), contributed articles to several major publications, and has collaborated extensively with performance artists, filmmakers and musicians. His thought has been cited as an influence on science fiction authors, academia, cyberculture, and technology.

I wouldn’t want to give William Gibson a bad rating, but I’m gonna agree with the one star rating listed here. I really do not like books that don’t exist yet. They’re hard to get a handle on, I guess.

I gave this book one star since this site is pure nonsense and allows books that haven't been released to be rated. What is the point?!
