Books about William Gibson
William Gibson recommends
Force Majeure (1988)
Bruce Wagner
"As knowing a novel of late-twentieth century Hollywood as one is likely to encounter, brilliantly detailed and remorselessly funny. Mr Wagner is a major talent."
The Last Coin (1988)
(Christian Trilogy, book 1)
James P Blaylock
"Blaylock is a singular American fabulist."
Tea from an Empty Cup (1998)
(Artificial Reality Division, book 1)
Pat Cadigan
"Her fiction is ambitious and brilliantly executed. Cadigan is a major talent."
As Above, So Below (2002)
Rudy Rucker
"A delightful book, one that carries us through the sixteenth-century picture-plane at extraordinary angles, illuminating Bruegel, his art and his world, with warmth and candor."
Eastern Standard Tribe (2004)
Cory Doctorow
"Utterly contemporary and deeply peculiar - a hard combination to beat."
The Zenith Angle (2004)
Bruce Sterling
"A darkly comic fable of info-war, the black budget, uber-geek idealism and the politics of Homeland Insecurity. Sterling's grasp of the surfaces of contemporary reality is deftly prehensile; his understanding of what underlies those surfaces is both compelling and important."
Anansi Boys (2005)
(American Gods, book 2)
Neil Gaiman
"A writer of rare perception and endless imagination."
Butcher Bird (2007)
Richard Kadrey
"[Kadrey's] one of the hipper people in the field, that's for sure."
Halting State (2007)
(Halting State, book 1)
Charles Stross
"As keenly observant of our emergent society as it is of our emergent technologies. Halting State is one extremely smart species of fun."
Zoo City (2010)
Lauren Beukes
"Lauren Beukes is very, *very* good... it feels effortless, utterly accomplished."
Everything is Broken (2011)
John Shirley
"One of our best and most singular writers. A powerhouse of ideas and imagery."
Tropic of Kansas (2017)
Christopher Brown
"Futurist as provocateur! The world is sheer batshit genius . . . a truly hallucinatorily envisioned environment."
Autonomous (2017)
Annalee Newitz
"Something genuinely and thrillingly new in the naturalistic, subjective, paradoxically humanistic but non-anthropomorphic depiction of bot-POV - and all in the service of vivid, solid storytelling."
