    Extractions: William Gibson Biography - William Gibson William Gibson was born near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in 1948. In 1972 he moved to Vancouver, Canada. He is married with two children. In the early 1980s he wrote Neuromancer, and with this novel he established a new kind of science fiction literature called cyberpunk. William Gibson defined the word cyberspace, and described virtual reality long before we saw the similarities with todays Internet. He has won the Hugo Award, Nebula Award and the Philipp K. Dick Award.

    Extractions: William Gibson is called "the father of Cyberpunk" by some, and is trashed as a poser by others. But one thing is clear. His book Neuromancer (1984), which won the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards that year, was the Christ-child of cyberpunk, whose road to superstardom was paved by the John the Baptist figures of Samuel Delaney, Roger Zelanzy, Philip K. Dick, and James Triptree, Jr. The books that followed in the "Sprawl" trilogy; Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive , created the seminal canon of cyberpunk that has inspired both a new generation of cyberpunk authors as well as cheap, stale cyberpunk knock-offs. So whether you are of the opinon that Gibson is a genius or a poser, there is no denying that he changed the direction of Science Fiction in the last decade. And not only is Gibson a trendsetter in fiction, he has also spoken out on many technological issues that face society today, including the use of the Internet for educational purposes. But on the flip side, he is adamant about abstaining from use of the Internet himself. He has said "I'm not a techie. I don't know how these things work. But I like what they do, and the new human processes that they generate." And in a sense, we are living Gibson's cyberpunk here and now, and it is not hard to imagine that is what our future will be like. He has denied that, however, saying, "People shouldn't look at science fiction like they look at "real" fiction. They shouldn't expect that this is what the future is going to look like. [Science fiction authors] are sort of charlatans; we come up with a few ideas and we make a living off of that."

25. Technolgy In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein And William Gibson's Neuromancer
    Paper comparing technology in Frankenstein and in william gibson's Neuromancer.  
    http://www.geocities.com/Paris/5972/gibson.html
    
    Extractions: At first glance this topic could seem rather irrelevant having in mind that the two works are separated by more than a century. During this lapse of time, humanity has witnessed profound changes at a breath-taking speed. The partly Gothic and partly Romantic world of Mary Shelley is quite different from the reality Gibson predicts. We could not say, however, that there are no links between the two. Shelley's work could be viewed as the apprehension of the new-born fear in regard to technical invention and Gibson's work as the divination of the consequences of technological development and sophistication. In both cases the essence of human nature has barely changed. It is what lies behind the destructive human strife for more, more at any price that has led to the despondent conclusions of both works. In associating the two works it is useful to understand the historical context in which they were written. Frankenstein is distinctly related to the revolutionary period of 1780 to 1830 or the period of the first industrial revolution.

27. Cyberphunk!
    Ett kort utdrag av en intervju utf¶rd 1995.  
    http://www.itv.se/boreale/cyberps.htm
    
    Extractions: Ett samtal med William Gibson. English version here. I fjol (1995) hade jag turen att träffa William Gibson, nedstående är ett utdrag av de mest allmänt intressanta delarna av vårt samtal (vilket var betydligt längre än vad som kan återges här). På de bilder som man sett av William Gibsons har han haft ett närmast uggleliknande utseende som starkt kontrasterat i förhållande till de hårdföra personer som figurerar i hans berättelser. En flyktig likhet med Woody Allen hade undermedvetet fått mig att vänta en timid personlighet. Detta visade sig vara en grov missbedömning då det visade sig att karln var våldsamt lång och förde sig med en hel del pondus. Min första frågade gällde Gibsons bakgrund, inte för att jag väntade mig något våldsamt spektakulärt -men ändock något udda med tanke på vissa av de ideér som dykt upp i hans böcker. Gibson: Jag växte upp i delstaten Virginia -en ensligt belägen landsbygdsstad i en bergig del av USA. Bodde där till 15 års åldern då jag började på ett gymnasium i Arizona så jag fick bo på elevhem nära skolan. Där träffade jag en massa häftiga typer från Californien och andra delar av Staterna -många av dem hade en långt mer vidsynt inställning till omvärlden än de flesta från min hemstad. Vid 19 års ålder tog jag studenten och då inte hade några omedelbara planer på att läsa vidare fanns det en viss risk att jag skulle bli inkallad -det här var vid den tid då USA förde krig i Vietnam. Så för att undvika militärtjänsten for jag till Kanada, nu dök det aldrig upp någon inkallelseorder så jag är egentligen inte en av dem som fick rättsliga problem av mitt ställningstagande mot kriget. Men jag trivdes i Kanada så jag har bott kvar där, de senaste åren i staden Vancouver på Kanadas västkust.

    Extractions: Just the facts, but far more complete than the other Johnny-come-lately "6 books and out" lists out there. All lists are in real-world chronological order. The chronology of the "Sprawl" series is Johnny Mnemonic short story - New Rose Hotel short story - Burning Chrome short story - Neuromancer - Count Zero - Mona Lisa Overdrive. Other stories in Burning Chrome fit more or less tightly into the imagined future of the series. By the time Gibson wrote the Skinner's Room short story - virtual light - Idoru - All Tomorrow's Parties sequence set closer in time, the near future had turned out different from the "Sprawl" future. There's a fascinating cyberpunk timeline at http://www.subsitu.com/cns/tl.htm that dovetails Gibson's work with the cyber, punk, and sf goings-on at the same time. the stories collected in Burning Chrome The Gernsback Continuum and Red Star, Winter Orbit

37. Utopier I Litteraturen
    Ett specialarbete som diskuterar och kartl¤gger utopin i v¤rldslitteraturen fr¥n Platon till william gibson.  
    http://www.lysator.liu.se/~unicorn/fandom/fanzines/utopier_i_litteraturen.html
    
    Extractions: Ordet har sedermera fått två, i viss mån skilda betydelser. Förutom att det betecknar någon form av idealstat, eller i alla fall ett samhälle som i grunden skiljer sig från författarens eget, används det om en idé eller ett ideal som är omöjligt att genomföra - och har väl därför idag för de flesta en negativ klang -. Urvalet i ett sådant här arbete måste naturligtvis bli mycket selektivt, det finns flera områden och angelägna verk som jag har varit tvungen att stryka i planeringen. I viss mån har jag även kommit att behandla dystopin, (Utopins motsats, berättelser om dåliga samhällen. Grekiska, ungefär "dålig plats") då skillnaden mellan den utopiska och den dystopiska berättelsen ofta marginell. Det kan vara i allt utom detaljer samma samhälle som beskrivs, det som skiljer dem åt är perspektivet; det som för den härskande planritaren är en gudomlig och lugn utopi är för undersåten en auktoritär och odemokratisk tristess. Det är även i dystopin man hittar den bästa kritiken av de utopiska idéerna. Ett av de de största problemen med den utopiska drömmen är uppenbarligen vad själva målet ska vara. Det räcker ju inte att alla vill förverkliga ett idealsamhälle, de måste rimligen enas om en gemensam dröm. Även om Voltaires ovan nämnda Eldorado var en utopi för utopierna, (och som alla goda utopier är de kanske inte helt och hållet mänskliga) så såg Candide det som en obeboelig plats. Det är nog en syn de flesta skulle anamma i hans läge.

Coda Introduction When Neuromancer by William Gibson was first published it created a sensation. Or perhaps it would be more precise to say that it was used to create a sensation, for Bruce Sterling and other Gibson associates declared that a new kind of science fiction had appeared which rendered merely ordinary SF obsolete. Informed by the amoral urban rage of the punk subculture and depicting the developing human-machine interface created by the widespread use of computers and computer networks, set in the near future in decayed city landscapes like those portrayed in the film Blade Runner it claimed to be the voice of a new generation. (Interestingly, Gibson himself has said he had finished much of what was to be his body of early cyberpunk fiction before ever seeing Blade Runner.

The founding father of cyberpunk, extrapolating contemporary technology into a future of urban decay and the social mores of the post-punk generation, Gibson blazed on to the sci-fi scene with the critically lauded Neuromancer, in which he established the concept of 'cyberspace' as a medium in which computers store data (the author has, however, long professed his technological illiteracy, preferring to write on an old manual typewriter, and has only recently got himself a home web connection). He is this decade's most influential SF visionary.
