Three Writers to re_think : fRom Object to Networks, fRom consumption to Culture.
Neil Gaiman, Bruce Sterling & William Gibson have developped in their last Books a visionnary anticipation paradoxically registered in the present.
With Pattern Recognition, William Gibson developped a critical vision of our object world in a thriller that enclosed Cayce Pollard in an investigation. Networks, Hacking, videos, subculture are the elements of a new mapping of our real world in real virtualities.
With American Gods, Neil Gaiman (Sandman) has created a new spatio-temporal critical fiction.
With Shaping Things, Bruce sterling proposes to 'tear into the world of artifice… revolutionize the interplay of human and object…rip root and branch into the previous industrial base and re-invent it, re-build it'
