William Gibson’s shorter fiction includes Dogfight (1985), co-written with Michael Swanwick and published in Omni magazine, and The Winter Market (1986). Both stories reflect the cyberpunk sensibility Gibson was developing alongside his novels during this period.
These stories, along with others collected in Burning Chrome, helped establish the cyberpunk genre before Neuromancer made Gibson famous. They show his early interest in the intersection of technology, counterculture, and economic inequality.
