Books by William Gibson

William Gibson is an American-Canadian author who coined the term "cyberspace" and helped found the cyberpunk movement with Neuromancer, which won the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award, and the Philip K. Dick Award — a sweep no other debut novel has matched. His subsequent novels include Count Zero, Mona Lisa Overdrive, Pattern Recognition, and The Peripheral. Gibson grew up in South Carolina, moved to Canada to avoid the Vietnam draft, and has lived in Vancouver since 1972. He is known for his precise, elliptical style and for his ability to extrapolate contemporary trends into plausible near-future worlds.
