Criticism about: William Gibson

This piece focuses on a criticism of William Gibson himself, telling more about relationship with technology, as well as more of his history.
It covers how he himself is not very successful with technology, having written his earlier books on a type writer. He hasn't been successful with it himself, those his novels frequently discuss it, and his works were a response to the flawless heroes of other novels. He wrote science fiction novels, as he grew up fascinated with science fiction, though he also wanted to discuss theism within novels, and it was a natural fit.

It also talks about his natural progression, from beginning off looking at what he perceived to be some far distant future, to slightly into the future, to present times. His writing style changed, becausee Technology keeps advancing forward, so what he viewed as an impossibility 20 years prior, is the case. The technology was more of an excuse to him to discuss humanity as a whole, and Humanity's relationship with Technology.

He sums it up stating that it is not that his writing style has changed, but it is just that Technology has finally caught up to what he was writing.
