New William Gibson interviews!

GQ: "He coined the term cyberspace before we even knew cyberspace existed. He imagined reality TV years before it was everywhere. He's made the leap from cult novelist to mega-selling oracle by writing intensely enjoyable techno-thrillers about viral-ad agencies and shadowy clothing designers and Cuban-Chinese data traffickers. And while William Gibson insists that he's the last guy to know what's coming next, predictions he made decades ago keep coming true. Which is a little alarming, actually. Because his new novel, The Peripheral, is his most dire yet."

Als Bonus ein sehr gutes Interview mit Gibson aus dem Jahr 1999 (?): "Das ganze "Star Wars"-Universum, mit all dem Franchising und den vielen Produkten, ist etwas, das sich der Konsument in unterschiedlichen Modulen zusammenkaufen kann. Doch es bleibt kein Raum für etwas eigenes übrig. Das ist einer der Gründe, warum ich es nicht mag. Das ist mir zu starr. Für den Betrachter bleibt kein Raum, um darin zu interagieren." Weiter

"If you’d gone to a publisher in 1981 with a proposal for a science-fiction novel that consisted of a really clear and simple description of the world today, they’d have read your proposal and said, Well, it’s impossible. This is ridiculous. This doesn’t even make any sense. Granted, you have half a dozen powerful and really excellent plot drivers for that many science-fiction n­ovels, but you can’t have them all in one novel.

Fossil fuels have been discovered to be destabilizing the planet’s climate, with possibly drastic consequences. There’s an epidemic, highly contagious, lethal sexual disease that destroys the human immune system, raging virtually uncontrolled throughout much of Africa. New York has been attacked by Islamist fundamentalists, who have destroyed the two tallest buildings in the city, and the United States in response has invaded Afghanistan and Iraq.

You haven’t even gotten to the Internet. By the time you were telling about the Internet, they’d be showing you the door. It’s just too much science fiction." Read on at www.theparisreview.org
