More quotes by William Gibson
I think the least important thing about science fiction for me is its predictive capacity.
William Gibson
I can see television much more easily than I can see features, because the economy and politics of making big, big features seems to me to be narrowing even from what it was.
William Gibson
Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination.
William Gibson
When did it become necessary to explain what's so cool about Japan? Everyone was quite obsessed with it 15 years ago. I suppose it's the only Asian country that developed an imaginary entree to me. That's why I go back.
William Gibson
The deadliest bullshit is odorless, and transparent.
William Gibson
The designers [of the 1930s] were populists, you see they were trying to give the public what it wanted. What the public wanted was the future.
William Gibson
Hollis thought he looked like William Burroughs, minus the bohemian substrate (or perhaps the methadone). Like someone who'd be invited quail shooting with the vice-president, though too careful to get himself shot.
William Gibson
All my life I've encountered people who were obsessed with one particular class of object or experience, who were constantly pursuing that thing. Since I was a little kid, I hadn't afforded myself the opportunity, I guess, to have a hobby.
William Gibson
I'd always maintained that much of the anarchy and craziness of the early internet had a lot to do with the fact that governments just hadn't realised it was there.
William Gibson
It's impossible to move, to live, to operate at any level without leaving traces, bits, seemingly meaningless fragments of personal information.
William Gibson
Dreaming in public is an important part of our job description.
William Gibson
When you want to know how things really work, study them when they're coming apart.
William Gibson
Time is money, but also money is money.
William Gibson
Genuinely ubiquitous computing spreads like warm Vaseline.
William Gibson
I've always assumed from the beginning that I had relatively few contemporaries among my readership. Not that I was consciously writing for a younger audience but that what I was doing interested a younger audience, or at least threatened them less.
William Gibson
I took Punk to be the detonation of some slow-fused projectile buried deep in society's flank a decade earlier, and I took it to be, somehow, a sign.
William Gibson
The written word still enjoyed a certain prestige here. It was a sluggish country.
William Gibson
I've been through the whole western world, and it seems to me that there's more retail floor space devoted to the sale of books than food! There's more retail floor space devoted to the sale of books than there's been in the entire history of humanity! It's grotesque!
William Gibson
We live in an age of seriously crap mass clothing. They've made a science of it.
William Gibson
Every shop in every High Street in Europe is filled with basically the same stuff. There's a street in every city of the world that has a Gap and Benneton's, and the upscale versions of those.
William Gibson
