From The Publisher:
A collection of New York Times bestselling author William Gibson's articles and essays about contemporary culture-a privileged view into the mind of a writer whose thinking has shaped not only a generation of writers but our entire culture...
Though best known for his fiction, William Gibson is as much in demand for his cutting-edge observations on the world we live in now. Originally printed in publications as varied as Wired , the New York Times , and the Observer , these articles and essays cover thirty years of thoughtful, observant life, and are reported in the wry, humane voice that lovers of Gibson have come to crave.
"Gibson pulls off a dazzling trick. Instead of predicting the future, he finds the future all around him, mashed up with the past, and reveals our own domain to us."- The New York Times Book Review
