His early writings are generally futuristic stories about the influences of cybernetics and cyberspace (computer-simulated reality) technology on the human race.
His themes of hi-tech shantytowns, recorded or broadcast stimulus (later to be developed into the "sim-stim" package featured so heavily in Neuromancer), and dystopic intermingling of technology and humanity, are already evident in his first published short story, "Fragments of a Hologram Rose" (1977).
The latter thematic obsession was described by Gibson's friend and fellow author, Bruce Sterling, in Sterling's introduction to the Gibson short story collection, Burning Chrome, as "a one-two combination of high-tech and low-life".

 Review of William Gibson's Burning Chrome
"Fragments of a Hologram Rose" was Gibson's first published story, from 1977.
Fragments indeed, but it's a remarkable showpiece for what was to come in Gibson's writing.
"New Rose Hotel" is about corporate espionage in the future, and it's told in the first person by a narrator who has set up a deal to steal a geneticist named Hiroshi from one company and set him up at the next.

In the "Sprawl" series of short stories collected in this anthology ("Johnny Mnemonic", "New Rose Hotel", "Burning Chrome", etc.) Gibson gives vivid, explosive vignettes on the lives of data couriers and cyberspace hackers in the same universe as his critically acclaimed "Cyberspace" trilogy.
Yet he is just as good when he steps outside this universe, as witnessed by his poignant "Winter Market" and his collaboration with Bruce Sterling ("Red Star, Winter Orbit".).
"Fragments of a Hologram Rose", "The Winter Market" and "Dogfight" are powerful studies of emotion, need, and what it means to be human.

At one time, "Fragments of a Hologram Rose" was being worked on as a film project; it fell through.
Gibson was tapped to work on the script for "Aliens 3"--by the time the studios had finished butchering his work, the only idea of Gibson's that remained in the finished movie was to have tattooed bar-codes on the characters' necks.
