Last month I saw William Gibson when he hit Toronto on his book tour for Agency, which is excellent.
He was interviewed by Nora Young, who didn’t get much of a chance to ask questions because Gibson was quite loquacious. I imagine it was a combination of his natural nature and being at the end of a book tour.

A couple of good quotes from Gibson:
- “Genre SF is my literary home town, but I don’t live there [or] work there.”
- “Historical fiction is a more technically demanding version of speculative fiction than science fiction.”
