One of the first-generation writers who helped pioneer the hard-boiled science fiction mode now known as cyberpunk, Tom Maddox first published his work in the mid-eighties in Omni Magazine and in a number of compilations, including the 1986 collection “Mirrorshades”. Maddox published his first novel, “Halo”, in 1991, and co-wrote 2 episodes of The X-Files, “Killswitch” and “First Person Shooter”, with longtime friend and cyberpunk sage William Gibson (“Neuromancer”).
