 Distrust That Particular Flavor is a book with no central thesis or theme, and that’s part of what makes it delightful. While there are certain idea clusters that emerge, and certain observations that surface more than once or twice, the threads that hold the collection together as a whole are simply the obsessions of one William Gibson. You’ll find the Internet in here, of course, and Japan, and the evolution of media. You’ll find Borges and Ballard, Chubby Checker and Steely Dan, 9/11/2001 and 10/14/1962.

Spending time representing AE at conventions over the past year, I’ve been reminded again and again that few people in the world bring such passion to their interests as science fiction fans. It’s a fundamental trait of the geek personality to latch onto some object of fascination and fall entirely down the rabbit hole. But there’s a dark side to this laser-like attention as well. As easy as it is to love something, it can be easier to loathe it.
