Tracking Reality’s “Fuckedness Quotient”: An Interview with William Gibson
- transitivebs 7y agoFound this delightfully insightful. "I doubt anyone has ever stood out on a street corner wearing a sandwich board reading, “THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END IN A FEW HUNDRED YEARS.”" I love it.
- newnewpdro 7y agoNot much of an interview, is he just making the rounds to market Agency?
- pmoriarty 7y agoIs anyone here a fan of Gibson's post Neuromancer trilogy work? After enjoying Neuromancer and loving Count Zero, I was pretty disappointed in Mona Lisa Overdrive, and that's when I stopped reading him, and I've heard his later work isn't so much scifi as very near-future social commentary, which doesn't really interest me. But I've still had a vague interest in what he's done since. Any recommendations?
- __s 7y agoRead the rest of the trilogy this month, after having read Neuromancer a decade ago. Preferred MLO to Count Zero, though both were underwhelming As for recommendations, if you liked his narrative voice you might also like Margarette Atwood, Oryx & Crake in particular
