William Gibson è un autore acclamato di origine americana e canadese, noto per i suoi significativi contributi alla narrativa speculativa, in particolare nelle sottocategorie cyberpunk e steampunk. Viene ampiamente considerato il padre del cyberpunk, avendo coniato il termine "cyberspace" nel 1982, che ha successivamente reso popolare nel suo pluripremiato romanzo d'esordio, Neuromancer. Pubblicato nel 1984, Neuromancer è diventato un bestseller e detiene il primato di essere l'unico romanzo ad aver vinto il Nebula Award, il Philip K. Dick Award e il Hugo Award.
L'opera di Gibson ha avuto un impatto profondo sulla narrativa di genere, influenzando non solo altri autori ma anche l'ambito accademico, la cybercultura e la tecnologia. I suoi romanzi, tra cui Count Zero, Mona Lisa Overdrive, Virtual Light, Idoru, All Tomorrow's Parties e Pattern Recognition, sono stati elogiati per la loro esplorazione approfondita della tecnologia e del suo impatto sulla società. Oltre ai suoi romanzi, Gibson ha scritto articoli per importanti pubblicazioni e collaborato con artisti performativi, cineasti e musicisti.
Nonostante i suoi importanti contributi nel campo della tecnologia e della sua rappresentazione nella fiction, Gibson stesso non è particolarmente interessato alla tecnologia. Invece, è affascinato dal modo in cui le persone si comportano e sono influenzate dalla tecnologia. Questo interesse è evidente nel suo lavoro, che spesso esplora l'intersezione tra tecnologia e umanità. Lo stile di scrittura di Gibson è caratterizzato da una vivida immaginazione, personaggi complessi e trame intricate, rendendolo una figura altamente rispettata e influente nel mondo della narrativa speculativa.
