Fake William Gibson Twitter Feed Tells Surprisingly Good Short Stories











William Gibson fanfic just took a very interesting turn.


Using the Twitter handle @AuthenticWmGibs, some bright Gibson-ite has been spieling out some lines that sound uncannily like those of the cyberpunk author. Riffing on Gibson’s attention to detail, political leanings and complex sci-fi plots, the tweeter has been composing fascinatingly good 140-character mini-narratives since early November.


Much like other spoof accounts — everything from Pimp Bill Clinton to Fake Sarah Palin — the Twitter feed gets its LoLs out of smart takes on the Neuromancer writer’s pop culture persona. “Synopses for William Gibson novels that are definitely 100% real,” the Twitter account‘s bio reads. “But only in a timeline with greater authenticity than this one.”


Check out some of the best one (or two) liners from “Authentic Wm. Gibson” so far in the Storify below.
