William Gibson was writing about "cyber space" before it even existed. In fact, he coined the phrase. I won't review any of his books in this post, however his website can be found at:
William Gibson. It contains a phenomonal BLOG. (He may stop writing the blog, read it while you still can.) The BIO section is also fascinating, in it he writes: "I suspect I have spent just about exactly as much time actually writing as the average person my age has spent watching television. And that, as much as anything may be the real secret here." Nobius is shutting off the television now.
