Discussing post-Neuromancer weirdness in the matrix.

THE FINN: Thrones and dominions...Yeah, there's things out there. Ghosts, voices. Why not? Oceans had mermaids, all that shit, and we had a sea of silicon, see? Sure, it's just a tailored hallucination we all agreed to have, cyberspace, but anybody who jacks in knows, fucking knows it's a whole universe. And every year it gets a little more crowded, sounds like LUCAS (hoodoo adept): For us, the world has always worked that way.

Since 1987 I've been haunted by an object that doesn't exist.

A small, glass-fronted, wooden box containing 7 objects. A bone from a bird's wing, three circuit boards, a clay sphere, blackened lace, a human wrist bone.

I imagine the arrangement, how it might feel to see it. What memories it might evoke.

It is an evocative object, described by @GreatDismal in Count Zero.

Now, I work with philosophers on evocative objects.

#countzero : "Marsha was... deep in the labyrinthine complexities of People of Importance, who female protagonist's life she'd shared through a socket for almost twenty years."

#1984 : "Here were produced rubbishy newspapers containing almost nothing except sport, crime, and astrology, sensational five-cent novelettes, films oozing with sex, and sentimental songs which were composed entirely by mechanical means on a special kind of kaleidoscope known as a versificator."

In Brazil The Sprawl Trilogy is published by Aleph Publishing. #cyberpunk #countzero #williamgibson

I’m reading Count Zero from @GreatDismal . It’s impressive, it’s frantic and very, very immersive. I’ve read Neuromancer over and over again and it’s one of my favorite books of all time, but I’m enjoying our Bobby Wilson too much. Gibson’s descriptions are very evocative, it’s unbelievable. There is no mistake, if you want to enter cyberpunk headlong, there’s nothing like going straight to the source. #cyberpunk #countzero @bookstodon

While the game doesn’t happen yet (after all, it will only be next Friday), I’m here having fun reading Count Zero. I can clearly visualize Turner’s Theater of Operations in a session of The Sprawl. It makes sense. #cyberpunk #countzero #williamgibson #thesprawl

I’m wearing new shorts that I bought and it’s already tearing apart. It reminded me of an excerpt from Count Zero, that the clothes are so disposable to the point of lasting only one day. #cyberpunk #countzero #williamgibson

It appears Tuli is enjoying my new William Gibson book almost as much as I do. I interrupted her having an excellent nap on it.
What is this cat's obsession with lying on top of hard lumpy objects?!?

Catching up with this week’s episode of #ThePeripheral I probably ought to get around to reading the book, but I haven’t actually read any Gibson since #Neuromancer, #BurningChrome and #CountZero were new and exciting.

@GreatDismal

I read #Neuromancer , #CountZero , #MonaLisaOverdrive , and #BurningChrome before the internet, when we were first fumbling around with dial up modems. Thank you, sir for imagining cyberspace, cowboy deckers, and biomods. Those are some of my all-time favorite reads.

Éventaire, Estran, Vif-argent, Puerto Vallarta, Herradura, ... Relire et savourer l'écriture de Gibson ... Et dire que certains voient ses oeuvres comme de la sous-culture. On apprend plus de vocabulaire, de références géographiques et culturelles en 4 pages qu'en se forçant à lire des pseudo "références" littéraires de 400 pages... #cyberpunk #gibson #countzero
