Talk Of The Nation: The Science In Science Fiction

March 4th, 2008 by Russell Davies

This is like a delve into the history of the future: it’s a (badly recorded) hour of phone-in about science and science fiction with William Gibson, David Brin and Anne Simon. And it’s from 1999, when everything looked rather different. And it seems to be the first recorded citation of Gibson’s “the future’s already here, it’s just not evenly distributed” quote. MP3 here.

    That’s a great programme. I love the sound quality - makes it seem like something dug up from a buried archive. Maybe we should launch some kind of shared archive - a place where people could upload stuff like this that would otherwise be lost. I guess it would be hard to deal with copyright issues, though…
