William Gibson on the Apocalypse:

William Gibson, most recently the author of "The Peripheral," writes visceral, gritty futuristic fiction with the veil of utopia ripped away. At the same time, his plots and characters are as complex as anything Neil Stephenson has written, challenging to piece together and a delight to untangle.

Recently TED did an interview with Gibson to talk about, among other things, his idea of the eventual Apocalypse, his days as a student, and the practice of writing. You can read the (immensely entertaining) interview here.
