William Gibson: No Maps for These Territories
Loading...
Uploaded by hilschree on Mar 30, 2008
Mark Neale directs this prolonged conversation with William Gibson (famed science-fiction novelist and creator of the term "cyberspace") from the back of Gibson's limousine as they take a cross-country odyssey over nameless highways going no place in particular. The cameras roll as Gibson talks about his own personal philosophies, experiences, and opinions about the media-saturated culture in which we live. The conversation provides a compelling glimpse at the radical, genius writer whose 1984 novel NEUROMANCER forever changed the concept of the Internet, propelling the author to the forefront of the media explosion of the late 20th Century. Neale, a music video director, employs hyper speed editing and jarring visuals that combines various media images with excerpts of Gibson's novels, conveying a conceptual journey through the unchartered territory of William Gibson's mind. This slick and stylish visual trip also features interviews with writers Jack Womack and Bruce Sterling, readings from U2's Bono and The Edge, and music from Tomandandy.

It is very funny how William Gibson says our present is too volatile for us to be able to predict the future, when he has actually seen so far into the future, he might as well have written it.
Find this media-movie-thing on that cyberspace concoction and download it to that hard disk thingymabob of yours. It warrants multiple views.

Wow. I had never really thought about the Appalachian music idea before.
These people did not create music for others nor did they have a reference to go by...they just created it from heart and passing it along from generation to generation. So in a thought, nobody today (since we have all heard other music [except VERY few]) is creating anything new or completely innovative. And we accept that. Sad.

It's an extended nervous system, but it's not ours. The wires and nerves pass under the watchful eyes of Big Brother & Uncle Corporation. The backwards moving scenery is awesome. You have to ask yourself if you can even bargain with this collectivist, canned hell world that's slithering around our minds. . .

@WitherandFronst From the middle out apparently. It's like Gibson carries his own universe around him!
