Pat Cadigan

    10 september 1953

    Pat Cadigan is een Amerikaanse sciencefictionauteur die opkwam als een belangrijke stem binnen de cyberpunkbeweging. Haar vroege werken verkenden consequent de complexe relatie tussen de menselijke geest en technologie. Ze vervaagde meesterlijk de grenzen tussen realiteit en perceptie, waardoor de menselijke geest zelf een tastbaar en verkendbaar landschap werd. Haar verhalen duiken in toekomsten waarin technologie directe toegang tot het bewustzijn biedt, wat haar vestigt als een sleutelfiguur in het genre.

Dick and Samuel R. Delany to the founding members of the cyberpunk movement, such as William Gibson, Bruce Sterling and forward through the such innovators as Neal Stephenson, Lewis Shiner and Rudy Rucker. In over 300 pages of stories, Cadigan presents the cyberpunk world in which reality and virtual reality intersect.
