Neal Stephenson

Geburtstag: 31. Oktober 1959

Neal Town Stephenson ist ein in Seattle lebender Schriftsteller. In seinen Science-Fiction-Romanen spiegeln sich seine Experimente mit neuen Medien wie virtueller Realität und dem World Wide Web wider. Er gilt deshalb als einer der Hauptvertreter des Cyberpunk. Auf sein Werk Snow Crash geht der Begriff Avatar, in der Bedeutung für animierte Profile, zurück. Wikipedia
