EPUB or MOBI reader, 3.58 MB Overview: William Gibson is known
primarily as a novelist, with his work ranging from his
groundbreaking first novel, Neuromancer, to his more recent
contempora ry bestsellers Pattern Recognition, Spook Country, and
Zero History. During thos e nearly thirty years, though, Gibson has
been sought out by widely varying publ ications for his insights
into contemporary culture. Wired magazine sent him to Singapore to
report on one of the world's most buttoned-up states. The New York
Times Magazine asked him to describe what was wrong with the
Internet. Rolling S tone published his essay on the ways our lives
are all "soundtracked" by the mus ic and the culture around us. And
in a speech at the 2010 Book Expo, he memorabl y described the
interactive relationship between writer and reader. These essays
and articles have never been collected-until now. Some have never a
ppeared in print at all. In addition, Distrust That Particular
Flavor includes j ournalism from small publishers, online sources,
and magazines no longer in exis tence. This volume will be
essential reading for any lover of William Gibson's n ovels.
Distrust That Particular Flavor offers readers a privileged view
into the mind of a writer whose thinking has shaped not only a
generation of writers but our entire culture. Genre: Essay
