The works of William Gibson encompass literature, journalism, acting, recitation, and performance art. Primarily renowned as a novelist and short fiction writer in the cyberpunk milieu, Gibson invented the metaphor of cyberspace in "Burning Chrome" (1982) and emerged from obscurity in 1984 with the publication of his debut novel ''Neuromancer''. Gibson's early short fiction is recognized as cyberpunk's finest work, effectively renovating the science fiction genre which had been hitherto considered widely insignificant. At the turn of the 1990s, after the completion of his Sprawl trilogy of novels, Gibson contributed the text to a number of performance art pieces and exhibitions,〔〔 as well as writing lyrics for musicians Yellow Magic Orchestra and Debbie Harry.〔〔 He wrote the critically acclaimed artist's book ''Agrippa (a book of the dead)'' in 1992 before co-authoring ''The Difference Engine'', an alternate history novel that would become a central work of the steampunk genre. He then spent an unfruitful period as a Hollywood screenwriter, with few of his projects seeing the light of day and those that did being critically unsuccessful.〔(Johnny Mnemonic ) at Rotten Tomatoes.

After writing two episodes of the television series ''The X-Files'' around this time, Gibson was featured as the subject of a documentary film, ''No Maps for These Territories'', in 2000. Gibson has been invited to address the National Academy of Sciences (1993) and the Directors Guild of America (2003) and has had a plethora of articles published in outlets such as ''Wired'', ''Rolling Stone'' and ''The New York Times''. His third trilogy of novels, ''Pattern Recognition'' (2003), ''Spook Country'' (2007) and ''Zero History'' (2010) have put Gibson's work onto mainstream bestseller lists for the first time. == Novels == * Sprawl trilogy: *# ''Neuromancer'' (1984) *# ''Count Zero'' (1986) *# ''Mona Lisa Overdrive'' (1988) * ''The Difference Engine'' (1990; with Bruce Sterling) * Bridge trilogy: *# ''Virtual Light'' (1993) *# ''Idoru'' (1996) *# ''All Tomorrow's Parties'' (1999) * Blue Ant trilogy: *# ''Pattern Recognition'' (2003) *# ''Spook Country'' (2007) *# ''Zero History'' (2010) * ''The Peripheral'' (2014) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of works of William Gibson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
