Jeg har med stor glæde læst dette fine portræt af en af mine litterære helte, hr. Gibson:
How William Gibson Keeps His Science Fiction Real
Og jeg har plukket et par citater, som ramte plet…
“It’s a Gibsonian apocalypse: the end of the world is already here; it’s just not very evenly distributed.”
“Gibson noticed that people with access to unlimited information could develop illusions of omniscience.”
““What I find most unsettling,” Gibson said, “is that the few times that I’ve tried to imagine what the mood is going to be, I can’t. Even if we have total, magical good luck, and Brexit and Trump and the rest turn out as well as they possibly can, the climate will still be happening. And as its intensity and steadiness are demonstrated, and further demonstrated—I try to imagine the mood, and my mind freezes up. It’s a really grim feeling.” He paused. “I’ve been trying to come to terms with it, personally. And I’ve started to think that maybe I won’t be able to.””
