I've long been a fan of William Gibson. Tonight I got a chance to watch "William Gibson: No Maps for These Territories."
It is a documentary film now available on DVD. It is about 90 minutes (+70 additional minutes of footeage on the DVD) of Gibson talking while being driven around in a car.
For anyone into technology, media, networks (cyberspace) etc. Gibson is the guy you want to listen and talk to.
I'm a little too lazy to write a full blow review - but I checked out this one - and it does a pretty good job of describing the film.
Yes the film is a 'wank fest'. It is completely aware of itself as a film. It touches on all the things you would expect it to touch on. And as the reviewer above said "If the terms "Ballardian," "Chandlerian," and "posthuman" have no place in your lexicon, then you might just end up asleep on the couch when the show is over. "
