I love interviews with Gibson because he is so un-like what everyone expects him to be. I knew so many people in high school who read Gibson and adopted a dipshit phreaker persona, and assumed that Gibson was some black trenchcoat-wearing cyber-goth who jumped from rooftop to rooftop at night while traveling to his next 2600 meeting in a covert location somewhere under the city, only to have their image crushed when they discovered he basically knew almost nothing about computers and just sort of bullshitted his way through the jargon to create a cool sci-fi story.
I'm still also upset that Michael Mann's long-in-development Count Zero project never materialized into anything.
He was pretty different from how I imagined. He seems so normal. The contrast is sort of like how you imagine David Lynch and how the artist really is.
