We monitor many frequencies. We listen always. Came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. It played us a mighty dub.

More quotes by 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
Time moves in one direction, memory in another.
William Gibson
I think with one exception I've never changed an opening sentence after a book was completed.
William Gibson
The nature of emergent technology is, as Kevin Kelly once said, right out of control. It's an element of human evolution that's completely out of control. It's sort of driving itself, and I don't see it ceasing to do that.
William Gibson
I can't imagine writing a book without some strong female characters, unless that was a demand of the setting.
William Gibson
There are bits of the literal future right here, right now, if you know how to look for them.
William Gibson
Cyberspace is colonising what we used to think of as the real world. I think that our grandchildren will probably regard the distinction we make between what we call the real world and what they think of as simply the world as the quaintest and most incomprehensible thing about us.
William Gibson
The deadliest bullshit is odorless, and transparent.
William Gibson
The future is already upon us, it is just unevenly distributed.
William Gibson
I watch for emergent technologies and pay attention to what people say they'll be good for, then see what we actually use them for. It never occurred to me that a tiny telephone with a wireless transceiver would do whatever it is that it's done to us.
William Gibson
Lost, so small amid that dark, hands grown cold, body image fading down corridors of television sky.
William Gibson
Somewhere, deep within her, surfaces a tiny clockwork submarine. There are times when you can only take the next step. And then another.
William Gibson
Gadgets are usually the last thing I think about, and if there's something new, I'll get to the store for the final shipment of the first generation when it's on sale. So I have last year's stuff.
William Gibson
I don't think about the real future very much.
William Gibson
If someone comes in and says, What are you doing, if I'm honest, the answer is, I don't know. But I'm doing THIS, don't know why.
William Gibson
Laney had recently noticed that the only people who had titles that clearly described their jobs had jobs he wouldn't have wanted.
William Gibson
The street has its own use for things.
William Gibson
Movies have gotten dull, the way network television got dull. And television, if we can still even call it that, is still really exciting and riveting and people are totally into it. I am always meeting people who have these favorite shows that they are completely wired too and not only have I never seen it but I don't even know how to find it.
William Gibson
The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead station.
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
