William Gibson's current novel, Pattern Recognition, appeared this year from G. P. Putnam's Sons, and is reviewed here by Dennis Danvers. His first novel, Neuromancer (Ace, 1984), won the Hugo Award, the Philip K. Dick Memorial Award, and the Nebula Award, all given for excellence in science fiction writing. Gibson coined the term "cyberspace," and envisioned both the Internet and virtual reality before either existed. He is the author of six other novels, All Tomorrow's Parties (Putnam,1999); Count Zero (Ace, 1987); Mona Lisa Overdrive (1988) and Virtual Light (1993), both from Bantam; Idoru (Putnam, 1996); and, with Bruce Sterling, The Difference Engine (Spectra, 1992). Burning Chrome, a collection of short stories, was published by Ace in 1987. Gibson lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.
