Other Works
Gibson's short stories, some of which take place in the same world as the 'Neuromancer' trilogy, written from 1977 until 1985 are collected in 'Burning Chrome'. Gibson also co-wrote the novel 'The Difference Engine' (1991) with Bruce Sterling. The story takes place in an imagined nineteenth century, where steam-driven analog computers dominate the Victorian society in England. This section also contains up-to-date information on the upcoming novel 'Pattern Recognition'. Apart from this, you will find detailed information on the rare poem 'Agrippa', originally published on a self-erasing diskette. Also included here are Gibson's numerous articles for 'Wired' and other magazines, and his scripts for 'Alien 3' and 'Johnny Mnemonic' and 'The X-Files. ¶
