AWW21 The Future is Now - William Gibson
The man who invented \u201ccyberspace\u201d, William Gibson is one of the most influential writers of our time. From his groundbreaking debut novel Neuromancer, to his latest bestseller Agency, he was the first to imagine a computer-saturated existence, grounded in an all-too-material world, and to anticipate its implications. The philosophies and practicalities of the near futures of his books stem from a deep and fascinated engagement with the present, as embodied in his most famous aphorism: \u201cThe future is already here, it\u2019s just not evenly distributed.\u201d
