Cities in Fact and Fiction: An Interview with William Gibson
William Gibson is a visionary author who revitalized science fiction with the hard-boiled cyberpunk novel Neuromancer in 1984, and who has continued to push its boundaries ever since. Gibson has written six near-future science fiction novels (the Sprawl trilogy and the Bridge trilogy), as well as The Difference Engine , with Bruce Sterling, a steampunk alternate-history set in Victorian England. In 2010 he released Zero History , his tenth novel, and third in a loosely connected series of genre-defying techno-thrillers with contemporary settings.

Mauve galactic clouds. Was she interested in astronomy, he wondered, or was this something from Apple? He imagined the laptop displaying an image of itself instead, and of the tea press, on the white laminate. And in that imagined screen, another, identical image.
