It's a talk he gave on his new book Zero History. I found it really cool hearing his opinions on how fast technology is advancing.

#4The title does the contents a disservice - his views on global culture are far more interesting and make up a much larger bulk of the article than why he loves twitter.

I agree - but his view on Twitter is pretty interesting as well, namely the fact that Twitter is countless parallel groups and cultures that have little or nothing to do with each other.
I am using Twitter to follow friends - though, sadly, most of them don't use it anymore - and as a news aggregator. For the latter, it's brilliant. Following William Gibson now.

"The tea party is a bunch of racists" is not an especially original, insightful, or accurate take.

#10I had no idea William Gibson was so insightful and urbane. I suppose I might have read Necromancer without any appreciation of how early it came in the timeline of cyberpunk literature, but I was never able to get into it.
After reading this interview, I feel pretty compelled to give Zero History a look.
