William Gibson: The Future Is Now

Arts, Culture & Media

In William Gibson’s first novel, 1984’s Neuromancer, he coined the term “cyber-space” and introduced us to the concept of a computer-generated reality that became the movie “The Matrix.” Now Gibson is back with another sci-fi tale set in the future — except the future is now.
