James: Honey, we're going to be late for the party. You did go out and buy a NEW costume, didn't you?
Jack: Mumble mumble mumble
James: Come on, let's go. You've had plenty of time to dress.
Jack crept into the room. His hands were behind his back and his head hung.
James: A pirate! You do that every year. I told you to do something different!
Jack brought his hands out from behind his back holding a toy cutlass and furiously slashed the air, shouting, "I'm not a pirate, me hearty; I'm a hacker!"
@NaraMoore @fujiwara Black ICE!
@NaraMoore @fujiwara ICE, capitals :)
It’s from Neuromancer.
@NaraMoore @fujiwara Nice of Gibson to give you a copy nine years before it was published :)
I think Snow Crash is a much better book (but the other is off the rails).
I wonder if either ever actually shows up as a movie or better yet a show. But please don’t be as bad as Johnny Mnemonic.
@NaraMoore @fujiwara I was at least born when it was released :) 8 whole years there year.
It’s pretty funny that it was written on a typewriter. Feels like the book(s) and cyberpunk in general is very popular these days. I wonder how many have ever read it or ever heard of it.
