I was pulling the piss out of the headline more than Gibson (if Gibson at all) - it just reeks of journalistic superficiality - and is rightly parodied by the other commenter with the futurama quote.
I mean - listen to the way gibson puts it:
"The present is really of no width whatever,"
That's a much richer metaphor to my mind.
- michael_nielsen 16y agoNews headlines are typically NOT written by the author of the article. This is something I've heard many journalists complain about. To my knowledge, the Wikipedia article on Headlines (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headline http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headline ) is quite accurate: "Headlines are generally written by copy editors, but may also be written by the writer, the page layout designer or a news editor or managing editor." So Gibson probably didn't write the headline.
