william gibson, not neal stephenson. whippersnapper.



Actually, the OP's argumetn is then point Gibson has been making for some years now: there future is here already.


Charismatic cyberpersonalities operating principally on the ‘Net live as permanent residents of no nation

Bruce Sterling has gone out of his way to become one of these, minus the calls for his arrest and other negative things. (His calls to digitize everything you own that you possibly can. His and his wife's problems with no longer having an actual address.)


Yes, but too bad Gibson's latest books read as if they're from the past...


HN should automagically +1 every comment containing the word "whippersnapper". If you ask me. Which you didn't, but hey.
