More quotes by William Gibson
Generation X is dead. It has come to mean anyone aged 13 to 55 years old.
William Gibson
I think the least important thing about science fiction for me is its predictive capacity. Its record for being accurately predictive is really, really poor! If you look at the whole history of science fiction, what people have said is going to happen, what writers have said is going to happen, and what actually happened - it's terrible.
William Gibson
I don't much live my life as if I was living in a Raymond Chandler novel, which is probably a good thing.
William Gibson
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
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.
William Gibson
The street has its own use for things.
William Gibson
The future is there... looking back at us. Trying to make sense of the fiction we will have become.
William Gibson
The present tense made him nervous.
William Gibson
You needed a new pancreas. The one we bought for you frees you from a dangerous dependency.” “Thanks, but I was enjoying that dependency.
William Gibson
Enlightenment is being, and it grows it's end is serenity.
William Gibson
I don't have to write about the future. For most people, the present is enough like the future to be pretty scary.
William Gibson
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.
William Gibson
Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts.
William Gibson
Our hardware is likely to turn into something like us a lot faster than we are likely to turn into something like our hardware...I very much doubt that our grandchildren will understand the distinction between that which is a computer and that which isn't.
William Gibson
The future's here already. It's just unevenly distributed.
William Gibson
I was afraid to watch 'Blade Runner' in the theater because I was afraid the movie would be better than what I myself had been able to imagine. In a way, I was right to be afraid, because even the first few minutes were better.
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
Naps are essential to my process. Not dreams, but that state adjacent to sleep, the mind on waking.
William Gibson
I only go to Japan when there's someone who can afford to bring me there, and consequently I may never go again!
William Gibson
All the speed he took, all the turns he'd taken and the corners he'd cut in Night City, and still he'd see the matrix in his sleep, bright lattices of logic unfolding across that colorless void.
William Gibson
