Distrust That Particular Flavor

By William Gibson
Distrust That Particular Flavor by William Gibson digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A collection of New York Times bestselling author William Gibson’s articles and essays about contemporary culture—a privileged view into the mind of a writer whose thinking has shaped not only a generation of writers but our entire culture...

Though best known for his fiction, William Gibson is as much in demand for his cutting-edge observations on the world we live in now. Originally printed in publications as varied as Wired, the New York Times, and the Observer, these articles and essays cover thirty years of thoughtful, observant life, and are reported in the wry, humane voice that lovers of Gibson have come to crave.

“Gibson pulls off a dazzling trick. Instead of predicting the future, he finds the future all around him, mashed up with the past, and reveals our own domain to us.”—The New York Times Book Review

“The most interesting thing about this book is just how little Gibson really has to say outside of what he writes in his fiction. There are occasionally some interesting bits here, but the dichotomy between his technologically obsessed fiction and his personal tendency to avoid tech could not be more clear than it is here. All this to say: it’s not bad, but it’s best left to obsessives and completists.”
