Walter Lionel George (1882-1926) was an English writer, chiefly known for his popular fiction, which included feminist, pacifist, and pro-labour themes. According to Alec Waugh, he was commercially successful, helpful in practical terms to upcoming authors, but unpopular in the literary world for his subject matter, his hack journalism, and his left-wing views. In 1945 George Orwell included George in a list of “natural” novelists, not inhibited by “good taste”, and particularly praised Caliban (a fictionalised account of the life of Lord Northcliffe) for its “memorable and truthful” picture of London life.

William Ford Gibson is an American-Canadian speculative fiction novelist and essayist who has been called the “noir prophet” of the cyberpunk subgenre. Gibson coined the term “cyberspace” in his short story “Burning Chrome” (1982) and later popularized the concept in his debut novel, Neuromancer (1984). In envisioning cyberspace, Gibson created an iconography for the information age before the ubiquity of the Internet in the 1990s. He is also credited with predicting the rise of reality television and with establishing the conceptual foundations for the rapid growth of virtual environments such as video games and the World Wide Web. Needless to say, Gibson is a major influencer to the existence of Escape Artists.
