William Gibson

scriitor american de science fiction · n. 1948

William Ford Gibson este un scriitor canadian de origine americană. Romanele lui de ficțiune speculativă i-au atras numele de „profetul întunecat” al genului cyberpunk. Gibson a inventat termenul de „cyberspațiu” în povestirea sa „Burning Chrome” (1982) și a popularizat conceptul mai târziu în romanul său de debut, Neuromantul (1984).
