Distrust That Particular Flavor

The Toronto Reference Library hosted a conversation between William Gibson and Robert Sawyer in support of Gibson's latest book, Distrust That Particular Flavor, a collection of his non-fiction writing, and 4/6ths in, a mandatory read. 

Of note, Gibson's response to people characterizing his early work as dystopic:

"The only people who can view Neuromancer as a dystopia are people living in a condition of extraordinary privilege."

Not included: the back of my head in the fourth row. Vibrating.
