[The 90’s raw: William Gibson]

Outside Agitators, THE 90's

Raw footage for the award-winning TV series The 90’s. William Gibson, successful science fiction writer (the movie Johnny Mnemonic was based on his story of the same name), chats casually with Joel Gold about his trip to Japan, his career, and the internet. He talks about his shock at the massive success of his first book, “Neuromancer”, which sold 6.5 million copies and initiated a new style of science fiction writing. “I thought that science fiction had become so conservative that I thought Neuromancer would be either ignored or held up for special scorn.”
