William Gibson on Canada
“Canada … negotiates and does business.”
Canada is set up to run on steady immigration. It feels like a twenty first century country to me because it’s not interested in power. It negotiates and does business. It gets along with other countries. The power part is very nineteenth century. 99 percent of ideology we have today is very nineteenth century. The twentieth century was about technology, and the nineteenth was ideology.”

“William Ford Gibson (born 17 March 1948) is an American-Canadian writer who has been called the ‘noir prophet’ of the cyberpunk subgenre of science fiction.”
