Hidden in the Weeds

Q.: You write from 10AM til whenever. Is research a separate activity?
William Gibson: I don’t regard research as a separate activity. From anything. Everything is research. Relatively little great stuff turns up for me as a result of deliberately looking. Life is crowd-sourcing. In a good way.
Q.: The reason I ask is that research tends to wander off into the weeds so easily, especially on the internets.
Wililam Gibson: But they hide the good stuff *in the weeds*!
