    Extractions: by Mac Tonnies William Gibson's 1984 novel "Neuromancer" galvanized the critical community and launched a subgenre. Among Gibson's many contributions to postmodern culture is the term "cyberspace." And it seems as if the Internet has evolved based partly on the metaphorical infrastructure provided by his early stories and novels. Gibson is one of the best prose stylists working; his futures are lean and utterly believable works of extrapolation. Fortunately for us, he shows no signs of stopping. Related links: William Gibson's official site William Gibson: No Maps For These Territories (documentary film) PATTERN RECOGNITION "Pattern Recognition," William Gibson's first non-SF novel, is one of his very best: harrowing, atmospheric and impeccably rendered. After navigating the predictable dystopias of would-be cyberpunks, reading Gibson is like making the leap from small-screen TV to high-definition. "Pattern Recognition's" main character, Cayce Pollard ("Cayce" pronounced as "Case," recalling a protagonist from a very different Gibson novel...) is a savvy, intuitive design consultant with unerring psychic radar for emerging fashion. Haunted by her abilities and drawn into an unfolding online subculture devoted to inexplicably affecting bits of anonymous video footage, Cayce's skills are exploited by her enigmatic employers. Drawn moth-like from the Victorian "mirror-world" of London to the neon-lit jungle of Tokyo, Cayce finds herself enmeshed in an escalatingly strange conspiracy that may or may not have something to do with the disappearance of her father on 9-11-01.

44. The Infinite Matrix | William Gibson | Time Machine Cuba
    Time Machine Cuba, an essay by william gibson, in The Infinite Matrix, a magazine for people who enjoy science fiction as a literature of ideas.  
    http://www.infinitematrix.net/faq/essays/gibson.html
    
    Extractions: I learned of science fiction and history in a single season. History I found in the basement of an old brick house I happened to pass each day, on my way to elementary school, in a small town in Virginia. I had found World War II, in that trunk. I had discovered history, or it me, and I would never be the same. Science fiction, then, I found on various wire racks, one of them offering a 15-cent copy of the Classics Illustrated version of The Time Machine The Time Machine was mine, part of a personal and growing collection of alternate universes, and that no one else in the theater really got it. Even more secretly, I had filled a Blue Horse lined notebook with elaborate pencil sketches for my own, actual, working time machine. It looked, I recall, rather more like the machine in the Classics Illustrated version than the one in George Pal's film. The Classics Illustrated time machine resembled a model of the atom, but I had imagined this, for my own purposes, as geared in some achingly complex spheres-within-spheres way that I could never quite envision in operation, but which would somehow allow it to move in three dimensions at once. That, I imagined, just might do the trick. I suspected, without admitting it to myself, that time-travel might be a magic on the order of being able to kiss one's own elbow (which had seemed, initially, to be quite theoretically possible) but I was determined not to admit it. The possibility was too delicious to relinquish.

46. Hayden Christensen Is William Gibson's Neuromancer?! - Cinematical

    Extractions: Filed under: Drama Casting RumorMonger I don't mind Hayden Christensen . I actually liked him in The Virgin Suicides, Life as a House, Shattered Glass, and Factory Girl . That being said, I, like many disgruntled Star Wars viewers out there, wasn't so pleased with the whole Episodes 1-3 phenomenon. You'd think that if the actor has learned anything over his career, it is not to enter into any really big fanboy fare where expectations are high and tolerance is nil. Or, that he'd at least be wary of such projects. That's why I'm hoping that this news bit courtesy of JoBlo is nothing more than a rumor. One of their sources says that Christensen will star in the big-screen adaptation of William Gibson's huge cyberpunk novel, Neuromancer Joseph Kahn is set to direct, and it's being seen as a big-budget indie no studio, but $70 million ready to work with. What's worse than trying to tackle Vader and stick with it while fans cringe? I'd say trying to take on the lead role of Case in this confusingly intricate story. And, why would the people behind this production want to risk it?

    Extractions: Today's Globe Local Politics Opinion ... Ideas August 19, 2007 SCIENCE FICTION WRITER William Gibson has a reputation for forecasting the future that dates to his first novel, "Neuromancer" (1984), in which characters used computers to "jack" into a virtual world Gibson dubbed the matrix, a term that seemed ready-made for the Internet explosion soon to envelop us all. "Neuromancer" won science fiction's top prizes the Nebula, Philip K. Dick, and Hugo awards and was followed by "Count Zero" (1986) and "Mona Lisa Overdrive" (1988), to complete Gibson's cyberpunk trilogy. These books continued to explore a futuristic matrix while bringing disparate, even supernatural, elements into play. "Count Zero," for example, invokes the voodoo deity Legba the "master of roads and pathways, the loa [god] of communication" as a lord of cyberspace. Legba, and his Afro-Cuban kin, return in "Spook Country", Gibson's new novel, where he again demonstrates a talent for suggestive juxtaposition. The book unfolds in present-day New York City, LA, Havana, and Vancouver, where somebody plans to blast $100 million in cash, diverted from American aid to the Iraqi government, with bullets made of radioactive cesium. But finding this loot, whether to shoot or steal it, requires help from a practitioner of what Gibson calls locative art, or "geohacking."

    Extractions: Skip Navigation William Ford Gibson was born March 17, 1948, in Conway, South Carolina. His father, a civilian building contractor for the U.S. military, died when Gibson was six. His mother brought William to her home state of Virginia, eventually sending him at age fifteen to private boys' school in Arizona. His mother died when Gibson was eighteen. Now an orphan, he dropped out of school, and in 1967 he left his home state of Virginia to wander. By 1968 he was in Toronto, where he remained to avoid the Vietnam War draft. After living an itinerant life in Europe and North America, he and his wife settled in Vancouver in 1972 (where he has since lived). He started to write fiction while attending the University of British Columbia for his B.A. in English literature (1977). His first short story, "Fragments of a Hologram Rose," came out of a course in science fiction literature at UBC and was published in Boston's Unearth magazine in 1977 (reprinted in Burning Chrome [1986]). He soon published more short stories in periodicals, notably in

    Extractions: By T. Virgil Parker Science Fiction writers are expected to give the envelope a little nudge. Usually this means dreaming up a new gizmo and running it through an adventure plot. Once in a while though, someone comes along with a whole new envelope, and William Gibson's envelope is bursting at the seams; bursting out of Sci-Fi, at present. Gibson pretty much invented the genre of Cyberpunk and scooped up every available award with his first novel, Neuromancer . Then he painstaking developed his storytelling power, firing out a hefty number of novels that are still picked over vigorously in chat rooms and message boards. He carved out tools that, when turned at the present day, deftly expose the surrealism we have no choice but to call reality. Gibson's elaborate vision of the internet- before it existed- and Reality TV- before it existed- has led many to call his work prophetic. Now that his fiction is set squarely in ‘this' world, the results are downright scary. His first effort to bring his Sci-Fi prowess to the present day

    Extractions: Cory Doctorow This is the raw transcript of the interview I did for the William Gibson story I did for the Globe and Mail . I wish I'd had more room to insert Gibson's quips in the story, but they limited me to 1600 words. Gibson never meets your eye when he talks to you. I'd been warned about this going in, but otherwise, it might've inspired quite a fit of self-doubt. In person, he's really tall, and very affable, with an easy smile. I had invaluable assistance with this interview. First of all, the people at Bakka referred the Arts Editor of the Globe to me. Then I got a wonderful briefing on Gibson's hot-buttons from Sean Stewart and Mark Askwith, who'd interviewed Gibson a few times for Space: The Imagination Station and TVOntario's Prisoners of Gravity. Finally, Dave Nickle , who's an actual, working journalist as well as being a hell of a fiction and nonfiction writer worked with me on interviewing strategies and copy revisions. Thanks, guys.

    Extractions: Burning Chrome It was hot, the night we burned Chrome. Out in the malls and plazas, moths were batting themselves to death against the neon, but in Bobby's loft the only light came from a monitor screen and the green and red LEDs on the face of the matrix simulator. I knew every chip in Bobby's simulator by heart; it looked like your workaday. Ono-Sendai VII, the "Cyberspace Seven," but I'd rebuilt it so many times that you'd have had a hard time finding a square millimeter of factory circuitry in all that silicon. We waited side by side in front of the simulator console, watching the time display in the screen's lower left corner. "Go for it," I said, when it was time, but Bobby was already there, leaning forward to drive the Russian program into its slot with the heel of his hand. He did it with the tight grace of a kid slamming change into an arcade game, sure of winning and ready to pull down a string of free games. A silver tide of phosphenes boiled across my field of vision as the matrix began to unfold in my head, a 3-D chessboard, infinite and perfectly transparent. The Russian program seemed to lurch as we entered the grid.

Subscribe to News Blog August 8, 2007 1:42 PM PDT Posted by Robert Vamosi Speaking before a standing-room-only crowd at Stacey's Bookstore in San Francisco on Wednesday, William Gibson , the man generally credited with coining the term "cyberspace" in 1982, said the prefix cyber is going away. He said "it's going away like the word 'electro' or 'electra' was used to modify products." He also said the word "digital" is rapidly becoming obsolete as well. Gibson is on tour for his new, present-day novel Spook Country . The book includes high-tech international terrorism among its many threaded plots. He also makes fun of the word cyberspace within the book, having a French character pronounce it "see-bare-espace." Gibson is best known for writing Neuromancer (1984) and his most recent bestseller Pattern Recognition Topics: Media Tags: Science Fiction William Gibson cyberspace Bookmark: Digg Del.icio.us
