William Gibson
William Ford Gibson (lahir 17 Maret 1948 ) adalah seorang penulis dan esayis fiksi spekulatif Kanada-Amerika yang banyak dikenal karena mempionirkan subgenre fiksi ilmiah yang dikenal sebagai cyberpunk. Memulai karier menulisnya pada akhir 1970an, karya-karya awalnya adalah cerita-cerita noir menjelang masa depan yang menyoroti dampak teknologi, sibernetik, dan jaringan komputer pada umat manusia—sebuah "perpaduan kehidupan rendah dan teknologi tinggi"[2]—dan membantu menciptakan sebuah ikonografi untuk zaman informasi sebelum kemunculan Internet pada 1990an.[3]
