William Gibson ist ein renommierter US-amerikanisch-kanadischer Autor, der für seine bedeutenden Beiträge zur spekulativen Fiktion bekannt ist, insbesondere in den Sub-Genres Cyberpunk und Steampunk. Er wird allgemein als Vater des Cyberpunk angesehen, nachdem er 1982 den Begriff "Cyberspace" prägte, den er später in seinem bahnbrechenden Debütroman "Neuromancer" popularisierte. Veröffentlicht 1984, wurde Neuromancer ein Bestseller und ist das einzige Buch, das den Nebula Award, den Philip K. Dick Award und den Hugo Award gewonnen hat.
Die Werke von Gibson haben einen tiefgreifenden Einfluss auf das Science-Fiction-Genre ausgeübt und nicht nur andere Autoren, sondern auch die Akademie, Cyberkultur und Technologie beeinflusst. Seine Romane wie Count Zero, Mona Lisa Overdrive, Virtual Light, Idoru, All Tomorrow's Parties und Pattern Recognition wurden für ihre nachdenkliche Erforschung von Technologie und ihre Auswirkungen auf die Gesellschaft gelobt. Neben seinen Romanen hat Gibson Artikel für große Publikationen verfasst und mit Performance-Künstlern, Filmemachern und Musikern zusammengearbeitet.
Trotz seiner bedeutenden Beiträge zur Darstellung von Technologie in der Fiktion ist Gibson selbst nicht besonders an Technologie interessiert. Stattdessen fasziniert ihn das Verhalten von Menschen und ihre Betroffenheit durch Technologie, was in seiner Arbeit offensichtlich ist und oft die Schnittstelle von Technologie und Menschlichkeit erforscht. Das Schreiben von Gibson zeichnet sich durch lebendige Bilder, komplexe Charaktere und verflochtene Handlungsstränge aus, was ihn zu einer hoch angesehenen und einflussreichen Figur in der Welt der spekulativen Fiktion macht.
