Event and Ticketing Details
Dates & Times
Sunday 28 February
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
The man who invented 'cyberspace', William Gibson is one of the influential writers of our time. From his groundbreaking debut novel Neuromancer, to his latest bestseller Agency, he was the first to imagine a computer saturated existence, grounded in an all-too material world, and to anticipate its implications.
The philosophies and practicalities of the near futures of his books stem from a deep and fascinated engagement with the present, as embodied in his most famous aphorism: 'The future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed.' In this online event streamed live from Adelaide Writers’ Week, Gibson will be in conversation with James Bradley.
This event is broadcast from 3.00pm AEDT Sunday 28 February, and available on demand until Tuesday 2 March.
Instructions on how to view the event will be sent to ticket holders and FAQ's are available here. Need help accessing the stream? Please email enquiries@tikstream.com for support.
Presented in partnership with Adelaide Writers’ Week.
