No Maps For These Territories examines Gibson's life and work, featuring several interviews with the author as he discusses his creative process, his feelings about the rise of the new digital culture, and the influence of his literary mentor William S. Burroughs. Bono and The Edge from U2, also appear, reading passages from Gibson's work and providing musical interpretations of his work. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

To those who know Gibson, hearing this man ramble is a heckuva lot better than ninety-five percent of the active conversations you've engaged in during the last year.

An amusing ride through the fringes of post-something-or-other America.
