The New Thing — William Gibson, author most recently of Zero History, interviewed at Jack Move Magazine (via the man himself @GreatDismal):
The genuinely new things are really hard to imagine. When you do imagine them, they’re very hard to relay in anything like a sense in which the people who are totally used to them would use them. There’s always this factor in future-tech science fiction where somebody, be it the characters or the narrative voice, is really kind of wowed by future tech. It’s a powerful impulse. You want the reader to get a wowie. But there’s a way in which it’s not naturalistic; it’s not a genuinely naturalistic vision of the future, because that would be one in which people take it utterly for granted.
Thank you for the link! I’m happy that you enjoyed the interview.
