More quotes by William Gibson
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
I suppose I do the Japanese because I just don't know China. Chinese popular culture has never evoked that instant of, Whoah! What's that? that I have with Japanese popular culture.
William Gibson
Lost, so small amid that dark, hands grown cold, body image fading down corridors of television sky.
William Gibson
One of the liberating effects of science fiction when I was a teenager was precisely its ability to tune me into all sorts of strange data and make me realize that I wasn’t as totally isolated in perceiving the world as being monstrous and crazy
William Gibson
The future has already arrived. It's just not evenly distributed yet.
William Gibson
What strikes me about Toronto is that Toronto's great misfortune was to have too much money in the late 70s and early 80s, and consequently, it built in the style of those periods, which is hideous.
William Gibson
The culture is still there, and people are still doing it. I imagine some people are doing it very well indeed. As for me, it definitely was my native literary culture. Science fiction was where I'm from, but on the way to now, I went through a lot of other territory, and I wasn't really that culturally conventional an SF writer when I started.
William Gibson
A book exists at the intersection of the author's subconscious and the reader's response.
William Gibson
We see in order to move we move in order to see.
William Gibson
It doesn't matter how fast your modem is if you're being shelled by ethnic separatists.
William Gibson
It was hot, the night we burned Chrome.
William Gibson
Time moves in one direction, memory in another.
William Gibson
It's an American thing, but it's particularly a southern thing, and its romanticization is hyper-Southern. And it's still irresistible to me, even in middle age. There's something that pulls me to that, but at the same time, I have this increasing awareness of how banal it really is - that evil is inherently banal.
William Gibson
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
I wanted to make room for antiheroes.
William Gibson
I'm happiest with people who've gotten furthest from traditional ideas of nationalism.
William Gibson
Naps are essential to my process. Not dreams, but that state adjacent to sleep, the mind on waking.
William Gibson
I look at [Toronto] and think well, perhaps my grandchildren will someday look at this stuff with the sort of appreciation I once held for Art Deco. Although I've come to find Art Deco quite creepy too.
William Gibson
I have this prejudice that trilogies are long, three-volume novels.
William Gibson
When I was first writing about Japan, it was at the peak of the Bubble. Bubble popped, but they kept on going. Japanese street style feeds American iconics back into America in somewhat the way English rock once fed American blues back into America.
