Image
I buried everything under layers and layers and layers of code, but the signifiers of my emotionality were there, for me.
William Gibson
Image
The 'Net is a waste of time.
William Gibson
Image
If I were in severely straitened socio-economic circumstances and had to move to the U.S., I'd probably opt for Athens, GA, or Lawrence, KS. As boho guys usually do, live cheap in the Left Bank of Kansas.
William Gibson
Image
Occasionally if I look back at something I've written I'll find one of those that I don't understand, but that's a bad thing - the unconscious has dealt me a bad hand.
William Gibson
Image
The future is here - it just has not been uniformly distributed.
William Gibson
Image
There's violence in my culture [from America's South].
William Gibson
Image
Art Deco for me except in its most crazed and attenuated forms, it's jut a matter of taste.
William Gibson
Image
Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination.
William Gibson
Image
We don't legislate emergent technologies into existence. We almost never do. They just emerge, dragged forth by Adam Smith's invisible hand. Then we have to see what people are actually going to do with them, and try to legislate to take account of that.
William Gibson
Image
I don't generate a storyline and then fill it out in the course of writing. The story actually generates in the course of the writing. It's one of the reasons I've never been comfortable doing screenplays, because in order to get the contract for the screenplay, you have to sit down and tell them what's going to happen.

Three in the morning. Making yourself a cup of coffee in the dark, using a flashlight when you pour the boiling water.
William Gibson
Image
I'm a really good eavesdropper. I listen to what people say and remember all the buzzwords.
William Gibson
Image
That's something that tends to happen with new technologies generally: The most interesting applications turn up on a battlefield, or in a gallery.
William Gibson
Image
I started writing short fiction very briefly, as I imagine is the case for some novelists.
William Gibson
Image
I'm not a very intentional writer. I try to be as unintentional as possible. What I basically try to do is invite the zeitgeist in to tea.
William Gibson
Image
I'm embarrassed if I think anyone knows exactly what I paid for something, or even where I got it. I want what I'm wearing to feel good on, wear well, and to be extremely functional.
William Gibson
Image
The future is there... looking back at us. Trying to make sense of the fiction we will have become.
William Gibson
Image
Authenticity doesn't mean much to me. I just want good, in the sense of well-designed, well-constructed, long-lasting garments. My interest in military clothing stems from that. It's not about macho, playing soldiers, anything militaristic. It's the functionality, the design-solutions, the durability. Likewise workwear.

A snappy label and a manifesto would have been two of the very last things on my own career want list. That label enabled mainstream science fiction to safely assimilate our dissident influence, such as it was. Cyberpunk could then be embraced and given prizes and patted on the head, and genre science fiction could continue unchanged.

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.
