Twitter novelty account Authentic Wm . Gibson ( @AuthenticWmGibs ) check us that it contains “ Synopses for William Gibson novels that are definitely 100 % real , but only in a timeline with greater genuineness than this one . ” While some of the writer ’s pastiches of Gibson ’s futuristic global government , explorations of engineering , and fascination with the minutiae of intent and manner are off - the - rampart bonkers , some of them we ’d actually like to record .
Much likeTNG Season 8(which tweets imagined episodes from a never - made season of Star Trek : The Next Generation ) , @AuthenticWmGibs fondly poke fun at the conventions of Gibson ’s work while come up with some challenging ideas of his own :
