Summary/Abstract: Gibson’s cyberpunk interface of human and technology, as well as his constructed reality of cyberspace, houses the motifs and conventions typical of Gothic fiction. In his first cyberpunk trilogy, William Gibson reconstructs and reconfigures traditional Gothic elements in such a way so as to respond to the contemporary urban and technological context, thus highlighting the tendencies, dilemmas and fears in contemporary society.
