Novelist William Gibson invents the term cyberspace
|
1st July 1984 Novelist William Gibson invents the term cyberspace in his novel Neuromancer, the book that created a new science fiction sub-genre called cyberpunk. Gibson first used the term cyberspace in his 1982 short story Burning Chrome, as the name of a piece of technology: the Cyberspace Seven. However, he expanded the concept in Neuromancer, his debut novel: "Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation ... a graphic representation of data abstracted from the banks of every computer in the human system."
