I guess Twitter is the first thing that has been attractive to me as social media. I never felt the least draw to Facebook or MySpace. I've been involved anonymously in some tiny listservs, mainly in my ceaseless quest for random novelty, and sometimes while doing something that more closely resembles research.

To present a whole world that doesn’t exist and make it seem real, we have to more or less pretend we’re polymaths. That’s just the act of all good writing.

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.

I find it interesting to see people - mostly people who are younger than I am - going to considerable trouble to try to reproduce things from an era that was far more physical, from a less virtual day.

Somehow I think that if Toronto had been forced to wait a decade [from 80th], it would be a better looking city.
William Gibson
Image
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.

Novels set in imaginary futures are necessarily about the moment in which they are written.
William Gibson
Image
Naps are essential to my process. Not dreams, but that state adjacent to sleep, the mind on waking.

She walked on, comforted by the surf, by the one perpetual moment of beach-time, the now-and-always of it.
William Gibson

The past is past, the future unformed. There is only the moment, and that is where he prefers to be.

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!
