William Gibson is one of my favorite science fiction authors.I invited him to be the Guest of Honor at the Disclave I chaired in 1986, and he accepted. I think this was the first SF con at which he was GOH. He had just won the Hugo for Neuromancer at the previous Worldcon and it was a genre shaking book.

I just got a DVD from Netflix that is a “documentary” of Gibson. “No Maps For These Territories” is an interview he gives from the back seat of a car. the director, Mark Neale, gets to very in-depth discussions of his literature and his influences. Of course, there is much discussion of the impact of technology on the human psyche and Gibson’s perspective on it. I find it very interesting. And the director has lots of fun with the backgrounds seen through the car windows. I highly recommend it for fans of Gibson, or authors in general.
