Summary
This quote, often attributed to science fiction writer William Gibson, suggests that while advancements and innovations may already exist, they are not universally accessible or known to everyone. The "future" refers to technological or societal progress that has been achieved by some, but still needs to reach and have an impact on a larger population. It implies that there are disparities and inequalities in terms of who has access to and benefits from these advancements, indicating that progress is not spread equitably across society.
