William Gibson is known primarily as a novelist, from his ground-breaking first novel, Neuromancer, which was published in 1984 and was credited with having described the internet and cyberspace before any such things existed, to his more recent contemporary bestsellers Pattern Recognition, Spook Country, and Zero History.
During those nearly thirty years, though, Gibson has been sought out by wildly varying publications, from major magazines to more obscure and out-of-print sources, for his insights into contemporary culture on everything from the future of technology to the work of George Orwell, from compulsive online watch collecting to drug trafficking in Singapore. His new book, Distrust That Particular Flavor, collects these writings.
