No Maps for These Territories
by Worthersee at 12:53 pm EDT, Oct 9, 2007

Last night I watched this very interesting documentary on William Gibson. (Available via Netflix for those of your w/ subscriptions)

The 90 minute film is an interview with Gibson while he is riding cross country in the back of a limo. Gibson provides profound commentary on the state of mankind and technology. It is also a bit an autobiography and Gibson gives insight into his influences and thought process.

Even if your not familiar with Gibson's work. He is an interesting and poetic person to listen to. Also, I didn't expect a road trip to be visually stimulating when the primary view is from inside the car, but the director made that happen.

I recommend it: http://www.nomaps.com/

This is worth seeing. It was discussed here at MemeStreams back in 2005. Decius mentioned it in May, and then in October, Rattle announced it would be screened at PhreakNIC. Apparently there was "a comedy of errors" at PhreakNIC, and it's unclear how many people actually saw it that weekend.
