Freeside
A luxury orbital habitat featured in Neuromancer, William Gibson’s seminal cyberpunk novel. Constructed by Zionite orbital workers and shaped like a spindle, Freeside rotates to simulate gravity and serves as both an elite resort and a corporate enclave. Ostensibly a pleasure destination for the ultra-wealthy, it functions primarily as a front for the Tessier-Ashpool family, a powerful and secretive cyber-dynasty that exerts influence from its deeper stronghold within the orbital complex, the Villa Straylight.
