Author Bio

Science fiction novelist who pioneered the genre of cyberpunk, prophesying about the near-future noir interplay of technology, cybernetics, and vast networks on humans. He coined the term "cyberspace" in 1982 and his work caromed across digital media, providing a fresh framing to understand the dawning Internet era. The Guardian dubbed him the most important novelist in the last two decades of the 20th Century, and he provided a vast renovation to science fiction.
