I'm more of a Rudy Rucker guy. Gibson was always so cynical, whereas Rucker liked to use the serendipitous nature of the universe to make things right.
It's funny to me that someone like Gibson, that has fought authoritarians his whole life, would be so willing to "redistribute wealth", whatever that means.
I have to say though, this fact blew me away:
"What or who is the greatest love of your life?
My wife of 45 years, Deborah."
Maybe I'm completely off about his cynicism.

I suppose anti-authoritarianism stops being appealing as you progress from most of your life being being in front of you to most of it being behind you.
