Gibson is one of our greatest contemporary science fiction writers. Author of the groundbreaking cyberpunk novel Neuromancer, Gibson described the Internet before it existed and coined the term
“cyberspace.” His first collection of nonfiction writings, Distrust That Particular Flavor, offers provocative insights on key topics from Future Fatigue to the Sundance Film Festival.
"Gibson pulls off a dazzling trick. Instead of predicting the future, he finds the future all around him, mashed up with the past, and reveals our own domain to us." – New York Times
