William Gibson is a stranger in a strange land. Last week I rented No Maps for These Territories (from Netflix), which is a documentary that features well-known science fiction... [Blogcritics] 6:31:29 AM    comment [] I'm not sure if this is fiction or fact. Interesting hobby... First Adventures in Urban Exploration. It's the dead of night, and I'm stumbling through dense undergrowth, a weak pen torch lighting the way. Brambles tear at my clothes and bare arms. Ahead, Monty navigates with a stronger beam, and leads me and Pi up a steep incline. I give up all pretence of looking after my clothes and scramble up on my hands and knees, the torch held in my mouth. I slide down the other side on my arse into a broad trench. "Watch your step, it's along here somewhere," says Monty. We walk slowly, scanning the floor with our torches, and there it is - a featureless black hole in the leaf litter, just three feet across. With apprehension I realise that now I've come all this way, I'm going to have to climb inside. [kuro5hin.org] 6:22:18 AM    comment []
