William Gibson interview

William Gibson interview 02/18/2004 10:53 AM
Here's a great interview with William Gibson, who is on the road promoting the paperback of his brilliant novel of apophenia run wild, Pattern Recognition (see my review, too).

"When you write a science-fiction novel set in some sort of recognizable future, as soon as you finish it you have the dubious pleasure of watching it acquire a patina of quaint technological obsolescence. For instance, there are no cell phones in Neuromancer. I couldn't have foreseen them. It would have seemed corny, like Dick Tracy wrist radios."

And he never set out to predict how we might be living a few decades hence. "I always assumed that social-science fiction - anything set on Earth in a not-too-distant future - is just a mutant version of the present. But the easiest hook to hang on me was that I was a futurist. I had always maintained that I was squinting at the present in a certain way."

Offshoring By Any Other Name

Offshoring By Any Other Name 09/24/2004 08:06 PM
Not too many people like the sound of "offshoring" -- literally, the sound of the word -- not just it's meaning. So the euphemisms to replace "offshoring" are springing up everywhere, with not-so-sneaky terms like "co-sourcing" and "global sourcing" peppering our vernacular. Outsourcing is dead, too, replaced with the mouthful: "business process transformation services" agreements. Isn't that so double-plus-ungood? Obviously, offshoring is still with us, and it's going to be with us, and it arguably should be with us. So while avoiding the word offshoring might avoid the spread of panic, hopefully we're not forgetting to address the root causes of our concerns: that we haven't answered the 'What's Next?' question. Though perhaps using bigger words and round-about descriptions is part of the plan to help educate the country to think more critically.

William Gibson on John Shirley

William Gibson on John Shirley 03/20/2003 06:37 PM
Here's William Gibson's introduction to John Shirley's proto-cyberpunk novel, City Come a Walkin'.

Shirley made the plastic-covered Sears sofa that was the main body of seventies sf recede wonderfully. Discovering his fiction was like hearing Patti Smith's Horses for the first time: the archetypal form passionately re-inhabited by a debauched yet strangely virginal practitioner, one whose very ability to do this at all was constantly thrown into question by the demands of what was in effect a shamanistic act. There is a similar ragged-ass derring-do, the sense of the artist burning to speak in tongues. They invoke their particular (and often overlapping, and indeed she was one of his) gods and plunge out of downscale teenage bedrooms, brandishing shards of imagery as peculiarly-shaped as prison shivs.

Offshoring... To Click On Ads

Offshoring... To Click On Ads 05/03/2004 04:44 PM
For all the talk of offshoring labor, it seems that many in India have answered "earn rupees clicking ads" advertisements found (ironically enough) on Google, which basically pay people to sit at home and clic k on advertisements on specific websites to help those sites earn more pay-per-click ad dollars. This, of course, is always the risk with any sort of pay-per-click advertising scheme. Those who stand to make money are always going to look for ways to increase the clicks. While it's easy to pick out automated clickers, having a network of people around the world who are paid to click the ads could be a lot trickier. Of course, this may remind some people of dot-com bubble companies like AllAdvantage - but at least in that (failed) case, advertisers knew what they were getting involved with. If such fraudulent clicks continue on content sites for advertising networks, it could noticeably decrease the value of such ads.
