SHADOWRUNNING

Just found this in his blog, William Gibson answering questions on a Barnes and Noble website.

Found this today in my news alerts, a review of the X-Files classic Gibson/Maddox written episode, Killswitch. And I totally agree with the write-up, yep, my fav X-File episode. Well that and the dude with the tail….

Steampunk Anthology review in LA Times.

A quick interview with Charles Stross in the Guardian yesterday. A pretty good take-way: “It turns out that the killer application for virtual reality is other human beings,” he says. “Build a world that people want to inhabit, and the inhabitants will come.”

How can you go wrong with a blog entry that instantly quotes both William Gibson … and Dan Quayle! Well, nevermind, but The Age has an interesting read on some future trends in gaming, with somewhat of an Australian slant but still some good insights and trend analysis. And a mention of the long hyped “Spore.”
