The Gernsback Continuum "The Gernsback Continuum" is a 1981 science fiction short story by American-Canadian author William Gibson, originally published in the anthology "Universe 11" edited by Terry Carr. It was later reprinted in Gibson's collection "Burning Chrome", and in "Mirrorshades", edited by Bruce Sterling. With some similarity to Gibson's later appraisal of Singapore for "Wired" magazine in "Disneyland with the Death Penalty", as much essay as fiction, it depicts the encounters of an American photographer with the period futuristic architecture of the American 1930s when he is assigned to document it for fictional London publishers Barris-Watford, and the gradual incursion of its cinematic future visions into his world. The "Gernsback" of the title alludes to Hugo Gernsback, the pioneer of early 20th century American pulp magazine science fiction.
