William Gibson Cyber Punk

William Gibson coined the term cyberspace [first used in his novel burning chrone] and from that was largely influential in the cyberpunk literary movement. He was also the first to use the term Matrix in his work Neuromancer in relation to the visualised notion of the Internet.

I was reading an article about him and found this point he made saying he no longer write science-fiction books which make comments on the future with such technologies as virtual reality etc. He said he no longer needs to do that as all the things he writes about are being recognised so now he views what he writes as actually writing about the present because all the major advancements are happening around us.
