William Gibson was born before 1792, and lived at Lodge Park, County Meath, Ireland.
During his lifetime he was widely lauded as the inventor of the term 'cyberspace', which perplexed him no end. ----------------------------- "It may be said with rough accuracy that there are three stages in the life of a strong people. First, it is a small power, and fights small powers. Then it is a great power, and fights great powers. Then it is a great power, and fights small powers, but pretends that they are great powers, in order to rekindle the ashes of its ancient emotion and vanity. After that, the next step is to become a small power itself." --GK Chesterton, "Heretics" |

"William Gibson is... William Gibson is the person who, when attempting to describe him, you run out of synonyms for 'visionary'."

William Gibson is a kite on a windy day.
I hear he's made of sugar and spice and everything nice. Although, there have been conflicting rumors that he's made of frogs and snails and puppy dog tails. |

[drawing by DIT] He is the current reigning master of Cru Fu, an obscure, French martial art focusing on weapon styles, specifically the use of examples of outmoded, obsolete technologies as improvised weapons. He is seen above practicing a cord kata with the discarded power cord of a General Electric Sure-Press, the first electric clothes iron sold to the public. |

William Gibsons tears cure cancer, it's just too bad he has never cried.
Mr. G counted to infinity on two occasions Mr. G does not hunt because the word hunting infers the probability of failure, Bill goes killing. Willian Gibson sold his soul to the devil for his Godlike writing abilities, the power to prognosticate and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Bill roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month. When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for William Gibson. William Gibson built a time machine and went back in time to stop the JFK assassination. As Oswald shot, William melted all three bullets with his laser eyes. JFK's head exploded out of sheer amazement. William Gibson has already been to Mars. They once made a William Gibson toilet paper, but it wouldn't take shit from anybody. As far as I'm concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue. -Albert Einstein |

He's like Mel minus the antisemitism and messiah complex.

Speaking his name too loud has been known to cause tremor in the fabric of time and space-
He walks quietly, so he can practice his art of sneaking up on angels- He makes Porcelain dolls with the will of his mind- He can also brew an insane cup of coffee- ---------------------------------------------- It's a bad recording- |
