William Gibson loves the YouTubes

William Gibson Interview -- Void Manufacturing The whole interview is worth reading. WG: It was only last year that my fascination with Youtube got into full swing. One day I suddenly realised that Pattern Recognition is a pre-Youtube novel, and it would not have made any sense in the real world. If I had written that book after Youtube had become what it had become, people wouldn’t be watching that...

A little light music for the end of the world

While on the way to a bloggers' get-together this afternoon, I was listening to All Things Considered on NPR and heard a mention of an event called All Tomorrow's Parties . Naturally my mind jumped right to the Velvet Underground song and the William Gibson novel, but I knew there was something else there, something I should have remembered, something I was forgetting. But what? And then, when they...

Win Tickets to Juno Reactor at the El Rey, Sept. 25!

If you don’t know Juno Reactor you probably know their big hit, Mona Lisa Overdrive (named after the William Gibson novel), off the original The Matrix soundtrack. It really set the tone for the film and IMHO influenced gobs of electronic musicians that followed. This should be a fantastic show. Want to win a pair of [...]

Virtual Community?

Over the past year or so I have reflecting quite a bit on the Internet as a medium of communication and more recently have been pondering the phrase "virtual reality" and it's derivatives. I'm not sure when I first heard this term, but I recall reading William Gibson's Neuromancer in 1991. It was on the reading list for my post graduate librarianship course at Victoria University, NZ. I think it was...

straight out of a cyberpunk novel

The group that hacked into Sarah Palin’s email, Anonymous, seems like something out of a William Gibson novel. I’m not sure, but I might prefer to keep them in novel-space.

Noted: DFW’s Death

Sad.1 David Foster Wallace2, along with perhaps only William Gibson, had a reader in me for everything he wrote. So dedicated was I to his Infinite Jest that I carried it in planes, trains, and autobuses over three continents.3 If you’ve never read any of his work, maybe you could start with this brilliant 2005 [...]

William Gibson’s Foresight

Make sure you don’t misread that title… William Gibson has proved himself a visionary, and a deservedly influential one. His fiction predicted a lot of the modern electronic world. I wonder if he saw a scenario with which we are all familiar: A busy restaurant, in any major downtown core on a weekday. There is a burst of [...]

Jeremy Mayes’ Typewriter Sculptures

From Wired, check out these awesome sculptures made of old typewriter parts. Mayer, who describes his work as a cross between Leonardo da Vinci’s mechanical drawings and the gritty futures imagined by sci-fi maestros William Gibson and Philip K. Dick, assembles his artwork without welding, soldering or gluing.

Is Filing Bankruptcy The End of the World?

By William Gibson There is little doubt just about everyone has been impacted in one way or another by the economic downturn. Are we in a recession or not? Who can really say? What is clear is some people have been pushed to the financial edge and bankruptcy is a concern. When your computer freezes up, what do you do? You hit the reboot button. Well, bankruptcy pretty much serves the same function...

William Gibson’s soundtrack for Spook Country

[Via Boing Boing] I must confess the idea of listening to some music tracks to get myself in the mood for reading a particular book has never occurred to me. But it has occurred to William Gibson. Here’s his playlist for Spook Country. I must say the dude’s got good taste. Excellent to see Lucinda [...]
