…because it ties so neatly to the ‘fox and the hedgehog’ metaphor from my January 4th article. This quote is from William Gibson’s blog.:
“I am done with great things and big plans, great institutions and big success. I am for those tiny, invisible loving human forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many rootlets, or like the capillary oozing of water, which, if given time, will rend the hardest monuments of pride.”
— William James
Armed, is that the _Neuromancer_ william Gibson?
Still nothing to say about torture or Gonzales?
Thought so.
Yes, Jinn, it is the William Gibson of Neuromancer, Johnny Mnemonic, etc.
William Gibson swore off blogging some time ago, saying it was taking too much time away from his writing.
Welcome back from prison, Bill.
SAO, if you want to discuss torture and Gonzales, go to Belmont Club, Wretchard’s got the 411 there!
Thanx Joe, Glen– I love Bill Gibson– you could convince me of anything with a _Neuromancer_ quote. 🙂
SAO –
“Thought so.”
Wow, SAO, could you be any more smug?
