William Gibson the “Father of Cyberpunk” the author who minted the term “Cyberspace” and the “Matrix concept”, among he’s most known works is the short story “Jhonny Mnemonic” that was the inspiration for the film with the same name and the film series “Matrix” (with the novell Neuromancer).
By “coinsidence”??
Both films had Keanu Reeves as lead star.

What “Cyberpunk” really is have not been defined, like “Sci-Fi”, so really “Cyberpunk” is “an undefined” sub genre of the undefined “Sci-Fi” genre.
Well you sort of recognise it when you see it…
Among the best definitions I have seen is:
“noir, near-future stories that explored the effects of technology, cybernetics, and computer networks on humans, a “combination of lowlife and high tech””

When you read that you think “Blade Runner” (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?) and Philip K. Dick’s Blade Runner was the inspiration for Gibson’s Neuromancer.
But… at the time Blade Runner was not Cyberpunk out of the reason the genre did not exist at the time.

I have only included stories I consider “Adult Sci-Fi” but have NOT included “AlienIII” since i believe that belongs in a “Alien Collection”

There already exists a good William Gibson collection on ABB by fArGo

The differens between that torrent and this is.
1.Only incudes Sci-Fi.
2. Includes 2 more Sci-Fi books
3. A couple of the books have other (newer) recordings with better (in my view) Audio

And of course a new torrent introduce the author to more people and keeps interest in the author alive.

An “exerpt” from the most known novell “Neuromancer” also Gibson’s first novell!!

“The Matrix is a world within the world, a global consensus-hallucination, the representation of every byte of data in cyberspace…

Henry Dorsett Case was the sharpest data-thief in the business, until vengeful former employees crippled his nervous system, but now a new and very mysterious employer recruits him for a last-chance run.
The target: an unthinkably powerful artificial intelligence orbiting Earth in service of the sinister Tessier-Ashpool business clan.
With a dead man riding shotgun and Molly, mirror-eyed street-samurai, to watch his back, Case embarks on an adventure that ups the ante on an entire genre of fiction.

The winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards, Neuromancer was the first fully-realized glimpse of humankind’s digital future—a shocking vision that has challenged our assumptions about our technology and ourselves, reinvented the way we speak and think, and forever altered the landscape of our imaginations.”
