William Gibson  

Définition

  • 1948– Science-Fiction Author In his 1984 book Neuromancer, novelist William Gibson coined the term “cyberspace,” which, like “information superhighway,” has been adopted as a universal euphemism for the Internet. That book and his subsequent novels have made Gibson the leader of a new school of science fiction called cyberpunk—a gritty, cynical rendering of the future that combines the punk attitude from rock ‘n’ roll culture, the cynical cadences of mystery writer Raymond Chandler, and an often hellish vision of a technocentric near future.
