William Ford Gibson, born on March 17, 1948, is a Canadian-American author known for his speculative fiction. Often referred to as the 'father of cyberpunk,' he introduced the term 'cyberspace' in his 1982 short story 'Burning Chrome' and popularized it in his debut novel 'Neuromancer' (1984). Gibson anticipated elements of the information age, reality television, and virtual environments long before the mainstream rise of the internet. His early works are characterized by a dark tone, exploring the intersections of humanity and technology, which laid the groundwork for the cyberpunk genre.
