Word origin

The term 'cyberspace' was coined by science fiction writer William Gibson in his 1982 short story 'Burning Chrome' and later popularized in his novel 'Neuromancer' published in 1984. It is a combination of 'cybernetics' and 'space', reflecting the interconnected network of computers and the virtual environment they create.
