A discussion is underway about William Gibson's role in coining 'cyberspace' in his 1984 novel Neuromancer and how the term later became trademarked and commercially claimed in the early internet era. Commenters are examining the tensions between the term's literary origins in science fiction and its appropriation by companies seeking ownership of a word that came to define the online world.
