William Gibson“I’m often saddened and dismayed to see myself portrayed as either a Luddite, or as a raving technophile. I’ve always thought that my job was to be as anthropologically neutral about emerging technologies as possible.”

“Cyberspace” as a term is sort of over. It’s over in the way that after a certain time, people stopped using the suffix “-electro” to make things cool, because everything was electrical. “Electro” was all over the early 20th century, and now it’s gone. I think “cyber” is sort of the same way. The things that aren’t cyberspace seem to comprise a smaller set than things that are.
