William Gibson on his Tech Life and Latest Novel

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the far-away-and-personal dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Philadelphia Inquirer is running a brief article on William Gibson. In it he discusses his tech life, the ad that inspired Neuromancer, and his latest book, Pattern Recognition. He says, 'Between my wife and daughter who still lives at home, I'm always the one with the slowest computer. I don't find that being really up on all the latest tech ever does me any good.'"

    Actually, the Anti-Semitic press is being used by Mr.Gibson's to stir up interest in the work.

    Is the book written in Aramaic?

      You're a moron. William Gibson is not Mel Gibson.

      Also, you must be a Jew too. Why do you people always use the "anti-semen-itic" attack when you people disagree with anything. And contrary to what you people think, a semite includes jews, arabs, and other middle easterners.

      You must be French.

    "virtually predicted virtual reality".

    What of it?

    It was not flamebait, I was pointing out the author article is a plonker.
