Week 9 - lecture response

William Gibson is ridiculously amazing and crazy at the same time. His accomplishments as a writer in genre he literally created himself is very cool. While I'm still finding it hard to grasp the cyberpunk concept and would prefer not to dwell in possible computer vs human conflict of the future, i still appreciate the genre. It is quite cool that william Gibson predicted such things like the rise of reality television and that he established the concept in which gave rise to video game and internet growth .

William Gibson's short novel ' burning chrome' was not my style of literature however i did enjoy the images william drew and his ability to make that world so real, and frighteningly enough so possible. a significant moment moment for me while reading the short novel was realising that william coined the phrase 'cyberspace' in this story... in 1982!!! While the wording was a bit technical i still manage to comprehend the story and enjoy it for the masterpiece it was.
