Loved that novel, BTW. Saw that and figured it was the author's way of emphasizing, now having learned to typeset and having BUILT a couple of small pubs, I GET IT.
Always makes me think of the quote about art never being finished, only abandoned.

Finished #Neuromancer, very cool read, definitely see how it helped to cement #Cyberpunk as the grim-tech-noir genre.
Also, clearly a huge inspiration to Cyberpunk2077, hard to read these books and not picture places and moments from the game.
Starting #CountZero now.
FINN: The Wig sat on the beach at Cannes for two years, ingesting designer drugs. He had become convinced that God lived in cyberspace, or perhaps that cyberspace was God. The Wig's ventures into theology tended to be marked by major paradigm shifts, true leaps of faith. >

“And, for an instant, she stared directly into those soft blue eyes and knew, with an instinctive mammalian certainty, that the exceedingly rich were no longer even remotely human.”

The receptionist in the cool gray anteroom of the Galerie
Duperey might well have grown there, a lovely & likely
poisonous plant, rooted behind a slab of polished marble
inlaid w/an enameled keyboard. She raised lustrous eyes as
Marly approached.

Turner remembered sunlight through a broad expanse of tinted
window. An airport bar, Puerto Vallarta. He'd had to walk
twenty meters from the plane, eyes screwed shut against the
sun. He remembered a dead bat pressed flat as a dry leaf on
runway concrete.

Count Zero from William Gibson is such amazing book. Much better than Neuromancer, I was able to read it within one week. That much it was awesome! 🔥✨ #scifibooks #scifistory #williamgibson #neuromancer #countzero #books
Everyone sites "Neuromancer", but I believe that "Count Zero" is the best "Cyberpunk" novel as well as being the best "Science Fiction" novel of all time. Sure "Neuromancer" is great, but "Count Zero" hits WAY harder. #WilliamGibson #Cyberpunk #ScienceFiction #Neuromancer #CountZero

BEAUVOIR: You think religion, what're you thinking about?
BOBBY NEWMARK: My mother's sister's a Scientologist. The woman across the hall's Catholic. My old lady put these holograms up in my room, Jesus or Hubbard.
BV: Vodou isn't like that. It isn't concerned w/salvation & transcendence

As Marly walked from the Louvre, she sensed some articulated structure shifting to accommodate her course through the city. Virek had taken her up, in all her misery, & had rotated her thru the monstrous, invisible stresses of his money, & she had been changed.

🇰🇷MEDIC: I was hired out of the finest unlicensed clinic in Chiba for this…not even Hosaka could know my position in black medicine would allow me to guess what it is that your defector carries in his head. The street tries to find its own uses for things, Mr Turner.

"Here's the venue, Turner” "What hit it?" Rectangular expanse of concrete spreading to uneven walls of weathered cinderblock. "Economics," Conroy said. "Before the war. They never finished it. Ten klicks west of here and there's whole subdivisions, just pavement grids, no houses, nothing”
Turner found his point team crouched in the shade. Three of them; he smelled the coffee before he saw them. He was meant to smell it, of course; they were expecting him. Otherwise, he'd have found the ruin empty, & then, somehow, very quietly & almost naturally, he would have died.

THE FINN: Big hoodoo man. Knows it's not the same. Hasn't been, not for a long time. I been in the trade forever. Before there was any matrix, or anyway before people knew there was one. I got a pair of shoes older than you are, so what the fuck should I expect you to know?

BOBBY: Beauvoir said Jackie's a horse for a snake called Danbala. Run that by me in street tech?
LUCAS: Think of Jackie as a potatospace deck. Think of Danbala, who is called the snake, as a program. Say as an icebreaker. Danbala slots into the Jackie deck, Jackie cuts ice. That's all.
