“There can be no doubt that the young of today have to be protected against certain poisonous effects inherent in present-day civilization.

“In effect, I grew up in a sort of timewarp, a place where times are scrambled up. There are elements of my childhood that look to me now, in memory more like the 1940s or the 1950s than the 1960s. Jack [Womack] says that that made us science fiction writers, because we grew up experiencing a kind of time travel.” LooksKindMadeMemoriesFictionChildhoodEffectsGrewElementsGrew UpScience FictionTime Travel1960sFiction Writers Author:William Gibson
