"On an overcast morning in 1999, William Gibson stepped into a limousine in Los Angeles and set off on a road trip around North America. The limo was rigged with digital cameras, a computer, a TV, a stereo and a cellphone. The entire movie was generated by this four-wheeled media machine. No Maps For These Territories is both an account of Gibson's life and work by the man himself and a commentary on the world outside the car windows, the landscape of Western culture on the edge of the new millennium, in the throes of convulsive, tech-driven change."--Container.
