we had people in orbit pretty much continuously for 40 years now. starting pretty much right after necromancer was written. the bridge trilogy is just very locale-focused on places william gibson has been in in person so he doesnt mention any space stuff.
he heavily incorporates the current buzzword tech into his books like virtual light is heavily based on 80s vr and 1990s popsci promises of how nanotechnology would evolve. idoru is inspired by early voice synthesizers imo and what would later become vocaloids.
the third trilogy im reading now has web forums, computer spyware,ECHELON surveillance program, and steganography as major motifs in the first book (pattern recognition) and i just started the second one but it appears to heavily feature electronic bugging,GPS,VR, 3d modeling and sampling irl stuff for vr... he also uses characters in the novel to make 'metacommentry' about his earlier books like he talks about the internet,vr,the gps grid are kind of like what he envisioned as 'cyberspace' earlier.
