William Gibson has his own blog. That's nice, now we won't be able to shut him up. Admittingly, I will bookmark him and frequent his site to read the latest installment of his mind. So far however I am surprised by his attitude towards technology. I mean, this may be a narrow view of the man since I never obsess about an author like some do. Before this I never knew what kind of person he was or what his childhood was like. One thing I didn't expect to read was that a science fiction writer, and especially one who invented the word "cyberspace" would not read books on a PDA. Well, why not Mr. "Johnny Mnemonic"? Yes, the paper feels nicer, but is that it?
I only read one of his books (the one we all read) but now I think I will delve a little deeper and go through them all. I need to read more. Well, I read but not books per say. I read websites and blogs, that's not the same. I can't read a book on the net or my laptop for that matter because it's too much to flip open or lug around. One thing I know however is that I will read his books on a PDA. Why? Because I can download them in an instant, read them, store multiple books and it's small enough to carry around. No, I won't pirate them, I will buy them.
So, Mr. Gibson, i'm sorry... but I'm a technology guy, I have to have and use it...
