influx quote of the month- william gibson
2007-07-18 04:03:00 William Gibson maybe one of the greatest sci-fi writers of his generation, he is also the best friend of planners everywhere. He even wrote a book about them. His new book, Spook Country, looks intersting, as usual. In a recent interview, he gave us planners the perfect quote."There’s a character in my previous novel, Pattern Recognition , who argues that we can’t culturally have futures the way that we used to have futures because we don’t have a present in the sense that we used to have a present. Things are moving too quickly for us to have a present to stand on from which we can say, “oh, the future, it’s over there and it looks like this.”Without a present, there can be no future.
