Re: Gibson quote
Aside from the fact the William Gibson quote is interesting just because it’s William Gibson, it’s also slightly ironic.
When I was in middle school, immersed reading Golden Age science fiction- (stuff written around the 60’s)- I went a step farther and concluded there had been *three* World Wars. I said so as much once while watching a movie, prompting Dad to incredulously say, “What are they teaching you in school?”
In my defense, we hadn’t covered either WWI or WWII in school yet, and the stories I was reading *did* kind of paint the coming war with the Soviets as inevitable..
*an alternate universe definition of ironic.
