William Gibson - No Maps for These Territories Reviews
Riding in a Limo with the Inventor of Cyberspace
Forget book signings and the Playboy interview-this is your chance to get inside the head of the writer who almost single-handedly bridged the gap from Beats to geeks. Following a highly-stylized, self-consciously post-modern interview format, No Maps For These Territories dances around some of the hard questions-where did we come from, why are we here, where are we going-and, amazingly, delivers some answers, though it may take two or more viewings to even begin to understand them. Gibson's genius combined with tight filmmaking turn extemporaneous stream of consciousness into a fire hose of cultural information transfer. Appearances by Bono and The Edge-not to mention Bruce Sterling, Jack Womack, a creepy baby and a porn star-are almost gratuitous, but that's all part of the post-modern vibe. Be prepared to jack in at terabit speed.
CYBERSPACE GUY TALKS
WILLIAM GIBSON -- NO MAPS FOR THESE TERRITORIES continues the exploration of meaning in the post-modern digital age. Gibson, who coined the term "cyberspace," sits in the back of a limo cruising concrete highways while reflecting on the digital byways. He considers fundamental questions of consciousness and wonders if the internet is an extension of our nervous system. Provocative and brilliant. Recommended.
