Original: William Gibson and the Trademarking of Cyberspace Article URL: https:// colo.to/cyberspace.html Comments URL: https:// n

A new article examines William Gibson's role in coining 'cyberspace' in his 1984 novel Neuromancer and the battles over who owns and trademarks the term. The piece revisits how a word invented in science fiction became foundational vocabulary for the internet age, and how disputes over its commercial control unfolded.

Why now: Readers are revisiting the story of how Gibson's fictional term became contested intellectual property as debates over tech ownership continue.
