the first mention of the Matrix I know about is in the books of W.Gibson
(the Neuromancer, Count Zero,Virtual Light, etc). That was back in the
1980's. Isn't that where FASA got the name from?
Frankly I am surpised (since I am in a cyberpunk rpg list) no one has
mentioned these books yet.
Am I that old, or did people stop reading? :)
Come on out you Gibson fans, show yourselves! :P
