A modern day cyberpunk woman.
Decades after the William Gibson's prime.

Gibson became a star in the eyes of many and admitted that he did not set out to be one. An ironic fact about Gibson is that he lacks knowledge about technology. Gibson was obsessed with science fiction as a kid but soon lost touch with it as we got shipped of to boarding school. He rekindled his love for reading and writing science fiction books when he moved to Canada. As a writer Gibson brings a certain style to the table. His characters are very different than your typical science fiction characters. They are low-life computer junkies that hang around pimps and prostitutes. Gibson also talks about how one day technology will in essence wipe out libraries because it is more convenient to use electronic devices. To end the interview Gibson admits that writing futuristic cyberpunk book are in his blood and that writing a novel in the present time would be a challenge to him but one that he would look forward to accomplishing.
