A santero consulting a sheet of signs, among which would be found the numbers three and twenty-one, whereby the orisha recognizes himself and is recognized; a man climbing a pole to install a wiretap; another man studying the monitor of a computer. All images of ways in which the world and worlds are linked, and all these ways under the orisha." - From 'Spook Country'

63. Technolgy In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein And William Gibson's Neuromancer
    Technology and its dangerous effects on nature and human life as perceived in Mary Shelley s Frankenstein and william gibson s Neuromancer .  
    http://www.geocities.com/Paris/5972/gibson.html
    
    Extractions: At first glance this topic could seem rather irrelevant having in mind that the two works are separated by more than a century. During this lapse of time, humanity has witnessed profound changes at a breath-taking speed. The partly Gothic and partly Romantic world of Mary Shelley is quite different from the reality Gibson predicts. We could not say, however, that there are no links between the two. Shelley's work could be viewed as the apprehension of the new-born fear in regard to technical invention and Gibson's work as the divination of the consequences of technological development and sophistication. In both cases the essence of human nature has barely changed. It is what lies behind the destructive human strife for more, more at any price that has led to the despondent conclusions of both works. In associating the two works it is useful to understand the historical context in which they were written. Frankenstein is distinctly related to the revolutionary period of 1780 to 1830 or the period of the first industrial revolution.

Hosted by Next Theatre's Burning Chrome dramaturg, Charlie Athanas, this lengthy conversation is presented here as a series. Lasting well over an hour, they discuss such topics as the theater, the effects of the internet on both their lives, rare collections, pornography and their current projects. With regards to their projects, Mr. Gibson has completed an X-File episode and is working on the "third" installment of the Virtual Light Idoru novels and Mr. Barker has several children's book projects and a huge family saga of one human family and one not-so-human. There's much laughter and several common interests, including a mutual fondness for David Cronenberg's Videodrome Bookmark this page for all parts of this fascinating, rare, first time discussion between these two greats of contemporary popular culture.

    Extractions: "[A]n artifact of such utter simplicity and perfection that it seems it must be either the first object or the last..." -William Gibson William Gibson is describing the haunting elegance of hikaru dorodango. His essay in TATE Magazine, "Shiny Balls of Mud: William Gibson Looks at Japanese Pursuits of Perfection" was my first exposure to this trend sweeping through Japan. Hikaru dorodango are balls of mud, molded by hand into perfect spheres, dried, and polished to an unbelievable luster. The process is simple, but the result makes it seem like alchemy. A traditional pastime among the children of Japan, the exact origin of hikaru dorodango is unknown. The tradition was dying out until taken up by Professor Fumio Kayo, of the Kyoto University of Education, as a means to study the psychology of children's play. In the course of his research, Kayo developed a simple technique for creating dorodango. With the help of Japanese media, Kayo has revived and extended the popular reach of this tradition to the point where it is now an international phenomenon. After reading Gibson's essay, I had to try to make a dorodango myself. At first the going was rough - it took over 30 attempts before I created what I considered to be a dorodango, despite having Kayo's instructions in-hand. However, even my rough, mal-formed first attempts grew precious to me as I worked with them. This curious attachment to the dorodango, documented well in Kayo's work, is part of what make hikaru dorodango so special.

    Extractions: By Andrew Leonard Sitting in the back of a limousine, alternately smoking a cigarette or smiling at the unexpected results of his own eloquence, William Gibson looks comfortable. That's a good thing, too, since the vast majority of "No Maps For These Territories" an 88-minute documentary about the science-fiction author that screened at this year's Slamdance festival is shot, literally, on the road. As he reclines, protected by his seatbelt, and occasionally, by a pair of dark sunglasses, he exists in nowheresville. We don't know where Gibson's going or where he's been. Every now and then we glimpse a freeway sign or some shimmery neon. Director Mark Neale also likes to play visual tricks overlaying images across the car windows that are obviously not the local landscape. Neale has a background in music video, and he employs plenty of MTV jumpiness to illustrate his narrative. The general effect is unsettling we're always moving, but never getting anywhere. But the technique also helps concentrate the viewer on what's important Gibson's words: his elaborations on the act of writing, his personal history, drugs, religion, pornography and, of course, the Internet, or, to use the word that most everybody knows by now Gibson coined, cyberspace.

    Extractions: Terry Gross interviews author William Gibson. Terry Gross: "In William Gibson's science fiction, the setting is a barren, post-world war three world, where multinationals have taken the place of political systems; computer hackers vie for power in a computer generated zone known as cyberspace. Gibson has consciously put into his science fiction, references to rock n' roll, consumer culture, and modern art. Just the sort of stuff he missed in the science fiction he read growing up. With his first novel, Neuromancer, William Gibson became known as the father of a new wave of science fiction that's been called cyberpunk. William Gibson's new novel is titled Mona Lisa Overdrive and it's set sometime in the future." Willam Gibson: "Well you know, I deliberately hedged on that, I would guess from internal evidence that it's sort of the mid twenty-first century. So what's that like sixty years?" TG: "Uh huh." WG: "It's not very far away, but it's not, while there's a convention in science fiction that one is writing about the future no one can really write about the future and I think that science fiction novels, by and large, reflect the decade that they were created in. You know the fifties SF, you look at it and it's the fifties. And I started doing the kind of work that I'm doing because I wanted something that reflected the seventies and everything I was reading that was being written seemed to me to reflect the sixties."

    Extractions: William Gibson Born in 1914, William Gibson spent most of his childhood in an area of New York City called the Bronx. His mother encouraged him to achieve beyond normal expectations and tutored her son so that he could skip grades in school. While he joined in the street games and adventures of other children, Gibson also loved to read and spent much of his time absorbed in the lives of fictional characters. His love of writing began at an early age as well. In sixth grade, the budding author started buying notebooks, hoping to fill them with a novel about an uncle killed during wartime. Though he never wrote the novel, his interest in writing never diminished. In spite of his fascination with books, young Gibson did not excel in school. He had little interest in subjects such as arithmetic, science, and history, and he struggled to keep up with his classmates in an accelerated high school. Gibson did experience success with his writing, however, and was published for the first time in a school newspaper after winning a contest. It was the first of several writing awards that he received in high school, and, as a result, the class prophet predicted that he would one day become a Hollywood writer. Music was another of Gibson's pursuits. He was a talented piano player even as a child. Although he disliked the rigors of piano lessons, the teenaged Gibson delighted in playing a rousing duet of popular hits with his father, an act they frequently performed at community gatherings.
