William Gibson, a founding father of cyberpunk, is one today's most
popular science fiction writers. This companion is meant both for
general readers and for scholars interested in Gibson's oeuvre. It
provides literary and cultural context for works ranging from
Gibson's first short story, "Fragments of a Hologram Rose" (1977),
to his seminal cyberpunk classic Neuromancer (1984), to his
best-selling novel Zero History (2010), and includes commentary on
Gibson's subjects, themes, and approaches. Existing scholarship on
Gibson is surveyed, and is accessible to and useful for fans and
scholars alike. An extensive bibliography is included to facilitate
further study of William Gibson's writing, influence, and place in
the history of science fiction and in literature as a whole.
