The Sprawl Trilogy influenced Hardwired
Added by Media Influence Map · 29 September 2026
The evidence
Walter Jon Williams wrote Hardwired in the wake of Neuromancer and has acknowledged the debt: a future of orbital corporations and a ruined Earth, a smuggler wired directly into his vehicle, and a woman with a weapon in her body. It is one of the first novels written inside the genre Gibson had just opened.
