If ignorance were enough to make things not exist, the world would be more like a lot of people think it is. But it's not. And it's not.
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
Somehow I think that if Toronto had been forced to wait a decade [from 80th], it would be a better looking city.
William Gibson
Sometimes, I feel like a time traveller, cause the only way that we can really travel in time is just to get older.
William Gibson
Time is money, but also money is money.
William Gibson
Novels set in imaginary futures are necessarily about the moment in which they are written.
William Gibson
Naps are essential to my process. Not dreams, but that state adjacent to sleep, the mind on waking.
William Gibson
I think the least important thing about science fiction for me is its predictive capacity.
William Gibson
I wanted to make room for antiheroes.
William Gibson
I started writing short fiction very briefly, as I imagine is the case for some novelists.
William Gibson
Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination.
William Gibson
That's one of my favorite things about Twitter: You can tweak your feed into a fabulous novelty engine. That's only one thing you can do with it, but it's one of the things I find most entertaining about it.
