William Gibson achieved fame with his 1984 novel Neuromancer, a book that is widely credited (along with the works of Bruce Sterling) with popularizing the cyberpunk sub-genre of science fiction.

Gibson claims to not be all that interested in computers:
- "I don't watch them; I watch how people behave around them. That's becoming more difficult to do because everything is 'around them.'"
