Home-Built Media Personae

Too bad this New Media Edge interview with William Gibson from 2007 requires a subscription to view the complete article [thanks to Publishing Talk for the link]:

NMA: You’ve been quoted as saying, “The future is already here. It’s just not very evenly distributed.” What current technological cultures currently interest you most and why?

William Gibson: Social networking. Individuals are now mediating themselves, something that wasn’t possible before. Mediating previously was like building nuclear weapons: It’s very expensive and you’re not going to be doing it in your bedroom. Home-built media personae may not be very powerful yet, but they will be.

Thank You

Thanks so much for the recent comments, encouragement and support.

Things have been relatively quite in Spook Country the past few weeks. And yet,just beyond the bright lights of the political convention, secrets lie. Tito sees some; Brown sees others and the old man waits.
