The father of cyberpunk speaks, on Neuromancer, the coming of Johnny Mnemonic to the screen, and the strange near-future of the wired world he helped the culture imagine.

This is a 1994 interview with William Gibson by Giuseppe Salza. Sharp, prescient, illuminating. Read it for the reflections of the writer who coined 'cyberspace' and launched the cyberpunk movement, a candid conversation about his work, the digital future, and the ideas that reshaped science fiction, a fascinating document of the genre's most influential modern voice.
