I am a great fan of science fiction literature, SF art and science fiction movies too.

W. Gibson

My favorite author is William Gibson, a post modern science fiction and cyberpunk writer. He was one of the founders of cyberpunk literary movement. The man who invented the term "cyberspace" in his novel "Neuromancer" in 1984, which won the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards that year. The first Gibson's short story that I read has been "Johnny Mnemonic" from the collection "Burning Chroma".

"My favorite piece of technology is the Walkman. It changed forever the way we perceive music. The Walkman has given us the opportunity to listen to whatever kind of music we wanted wherever we wanted." ---W. Gibson, 1994.

About technological issues and today society
"I'm not a techie. I don't know how these things work. But I like what they do, and the new human processes that they generate." ---W.Gibson
