William Gibson is the author who coined the phrase 'cyberspace' and is one of the most acclaimed science fiction writers of his time. Steven Poole, of the Guardian described: 'In terms of influence he is probably the most important novelist of the past two decades'.
Gibson will be talking about his life and work, and in particular his latest book Zero History, which is set largely in London and captures the paranoia and fear of our post-recessionary times. This novel marks a shift away from his previous sci-fi driven books to a more realistic and yet compelling portrayal of our modern world.
