William Gibson himself has spoken about the influence of
Hammett on his work. See "Lost Stories" p. 50 for Gibson on
Hammett's use of superspecificity.
(The quotation in "Lost Stories" was taken from an interview
of Gibson by Larry McCaffery, printed in the books "Storing
the Reality Studio" (1991) and "Across the Wounded Galaxies"
(1990).
