Wasn't it Gibson himself who wrote this, right in the beginning of Zero History if I'm not mistaken, when Cayce is meeting with some French artist in a warehouse in the outskirts of Oakland? The artist is making an augmented reality installation of a cyber whale that you can see in real life with mirrorshades.
And then the artist says 'the internet is e-ver-ting'.
- gnabgib 5y agoHollis met a Canadian artist (Chombo) in Hollywood that made a giant squid (Architeuthis) that could be seen with a visor rig... in Spook Country. They love and discuss the internet plenty.. since none of this matches what you remember, perhaps it's a reoccurring theme.
- bpiche 5y agoMemory bit rot, I'll have to re read the trilogy now.. Chombo says "Somebody told me that cyberspace was 'everting'. That was how she put it." (Spook Country, pp. 64). Feel like the girl he is referring to may be the one I'm thinking of. Must be Pattern Recognition. Thanks :)
- jvanderbot 5y agoNice! I had a break in the connection and couldn't place the commentary. I'll go back and revisit that.
