William Gibson is my favourite author. He hasn’t written anything for awhile but…reading his recent blog, it looks like he’s on the final lap of publishing a new novel. Yippee!
He’s calling it ‘Spook Country‘ for now.
My new novel sort of glances sideways at this “death of cyberspace” meme.
It’s “everting*”, says the French curator of locative digital art to the American journalist, of cyberspace. The journalist thinks the curator said everything”.
They’re both right.
The thing that’s going to be quaint about “cyberspace” (that already is, really) is the inherent assumption that it’s a realm unto itself; that it’s in any way elsewhere or other.
Glancing sideways is becoming more generally recognized as about the best way of doing what we used to call futurism.
There is a god Santa.
everting – the act of turning inside out; a change of position that does not entail a change of location
Please don’t pretend you knew what everting meant
