============================

History: July 1. 1984, 25 years ago, Wlliam Gibson wrote a book called

Neuromancer that ran the table at the 1984 Science Fiction Awards

and Won the HUGO Award, the Phillip K. Dick Award and the Nebula Award.

The Book and the Awards said Gibson Created a new genre of Science Fiction

called: CyberPunk.


Gibson does NOT particularly like that phrase, but hey it's a good

tag-line that doesn't fit anybody better.

And while Gibson's modern prose is anchored in Present Time his

depiction of cutting edge Technology and Hackers (Good and Bad) is still razor sharp.


Check him out

He IS a Must Read.

Harlan was giving out the Hugo Award for Best Short Story and

still being Harlan at the podium.
