Literary Crumb…Predictions from Science Fiction
Sci-fi author William Gibson is renowned for many things- most notably may be his uncanny ability to gaze into the future and translate what he sees into his present day novels. Being one of the first to foresee the idea of reality television, and playing with the concept of the “cyber punk” and a technologically dominating world, his predictions are not so far off. In his most recent novel Zero History, a post-market crash in London sets the stage for a dystopia of technological oppression in a frenzied, chaotic atmosphere.
