No Maps For These Territories
I've just viewed the William Gibson documentary where he talks about his writing process.
Most of the film is him riding around in a limousine in Los Angeles talking extemporaneously. I liked trying to figure out where the car was at the same time that I was digesting his ideas.
I really enjoyed hearing him talk about his background and about where his ideas came from. Gibson was the first person to use the term cyber-space in his 1984 novel Neuromancer.
I've read most of his novels but not his short stories. He is an impressive forward thinker.
