Neon Dreaming…

Hong Kong or Night City?
Did I mention I’ve been teaching in Blade Runner’s Los Angeles William Gibson’s Night City Hong Kong this week? The first time I came to Hong Kong, it was like stepping into a city I’d already met – it was total immersion in the world of cyberpunk, where unashamed capitalism suffers neither restraint nor irony. This visit is no different: at times I love and admire the city, and at times it gives me nightmares, but I’m sure I’ll never ever be able to say that I’m ambivalent! (And the cityscape lends itself rather well to a few photos here and there, too!)
