William Gibson on real vs. virtual and singularity

Via Scoop.it - The Next Edge

The author takes a moment to debunk “singularity” — the theory that man and machine will eventually merge in some kind of climax — calling it “the geek rapture.” In Gibson’s opinion, the biggest changes will sneak into our lives gradually, the way Walkmans morphed into iPods, then iPhones. “There’s not going to be any ‘future,’ because things are changing too quickly,” he says. “It’s just going to be … stranger and stranger, and as it happens to you, you will be in the present moment, and it will be weird.”   ht David McConville
