NP - William Gibson

[Matthew Cissell]

Hello all.
 It seems that William Gibson will be in my area so I plan to see him. I know he's been mentioned on the list so I thought i might get some ideas from you all.

So in the documentary "No Maps For These Territories" he ventured the following: It [the internet] will bring about the extinction of the nation-state as we know it..." Quite a claim. What do you folks think?

Second, if you could ask him a question, what would it be?

ps  Also visiting the area are Chuck Palahniuk and Hans Magnus Enzenberger among others but I can't make their talks.
