520 3 The leading figure in the development of cyberpunk,
William Gibson (born in 1948) crafted works in which
isolated humans explored near-future worlds of ubiquitous
and intrusive computer technology and cybernetics. This
volume is the first comprehensive examination of the award
-winning author of the seminal novel Neuromancer (and the
other books in the Sprawl trilogy, Count Zero and Mona
Lisa Overdrive), as well as other acclaimed novels
including recent bestsellers Pattern Recognition, Spook
Country, and Zero History. Renowned scholar Gary Westfahl
draws upon extensive research to provide a compelling
account of Gibson's writing career and his lasting
influence in the science fiction world. Delving into
numerous science fiction fanzines that the young Gibson
contributed to and edited, Westfahl delivers new
information about Gibson's childhood and adolescence. He
describes for the first time more than eighty virtually
unknown Gibson publications from his early years,
including articles, reviews, poems, cartoons, letters, and
a collaborative story. The book also documents the poems,
articles, and introductions that Gibson has written for
various books, and its discussions are enriched by
illuminating comments from various print and online
interviews. The works that made Gibson famous are also
featured, as Westfahl performs extended analyses of
Gibson's ten novels and nineteen short stories. Lastly,
the book presents a new interview with Gibson in which the
author discusses his correspondence with author Fritz
Leiber, his relationship with the late scholar Susan Wood,
his attitudes toward critics, his overall impact on the
field of science fiction, and his recently completed
screenplay and forthcoming novel."This comprehensive study
will go down as the definitive book on William Gibson's
career. Gary Westfahl's indefatigable research digs up
virtually everything pertinent about Gibson."--James Gunn,
founding director of the Center for the Study of Science
Fiction. Gary Westfahl is an adjunct professor teaching in
the Writing Program at the University of La Verne. His
many publications on science fiction include the three-
volume Greenwood Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and
Fantasy and the Hugo Award-nominated Science Fiction
Quotations: From the Inner Mind to the Outer Limits --
