William Gibson Interviewed
"William Gibson Interviewed by Giuseppe Salza" is a transcribed conversation that falls under the category of an interview or discussion, likely written in the early to mid-1990s. This engaging text presents a deep dive into the mind of William Gibson, the acclaimed science fiction author known for pioneering the cyberpunk genre. The interview primarily explores themes surrounding his film adaptation of "Johnny Mnemonic," a story that revolves around the politics of information, as well as his reflections on science fiction and technology’s role in society. Throughout the interview, Gibson discusses his creative process, his relationship with the film industry, and the notable influence of his storytelling on popular culture and technology. He shares insights on the making of "Johnny Mnemonic," delving into the challenges and triumphs involved, including the casting of Keanu Reeves. Core topics include his ambivalence towards technology, the notion of cyberpunk as a cultural label, and broader implications of the information age.
