An interview with William Gibson, author of Pattern Recognition, about his new novel, Spook Country, technology, 9/11, and political paranoia.
"One of the most visionary, original, and quietly influential writers currently working." - Boston Globe
"Gibson is the Raymond Chandler of the digital age, noir master of the Web." - New York Daily News

Finally a new book, I can't wait! It sounds like one theme will be political paranoia which is great, but I think Gibson really zeroed in on what causes cultural change when he mentioned Ipods.
I've tried now several times but "500 characters" wasn't enough to explain that last statment. So go read Huxley, Marshall McLuhan, or Neil Postman.
I like how Gibson said he hopes the book will "cheer people up". I dont' know if he's being insightful or irreverant, but that was my favorite part.
