William Gibson Q&A in support of his new novel "Spook Country," a speculative fiction novel set in the recent past.
Quoted: You can see it in corporate futurism as easily as you can see it in science fiction. In corporate futurism they are really winging it - it must be increasingly difficult to come in and tell the board what you think is going to happen in 10 years because you've got to be bullshitting if you claiming to know. That wasn't true to the same extent even a decade ago.
