By analyzing the gender role or the representation on the literary work, it can be found that the author of the literature is following the patriarchal or the feminism idea. The gender representation is shown in any genre of the literature. Cyberpunk literature which has human character and the post-human characters such as Cyborg, also can show how gender construction in the story. The writer chooses one book of The Sprawl trilogy, Count Zero (1986) by William Gibson. In analyzing the work writer use the qualitative method.
