Author William Gibson talks to IO9

William Gibson opens up to io9 about Godzilla and politics in between dissections of his techno-inspired novel Spook Country.

In Spook Country, old ideologies hang around and shape the initial phases of a longterm change that it will never be able to keep up with. The digital realm is inherently porous. These days we’re all coming to the attention of the authorities as a matter of course. But the really new thing is that the authorities are coming to our attention. It’s more difficult for authorities to keep their secrets.
