@yon @fujiwara Sorry I don't get the reference. Black ice is when water freezes on the road but you can see it.

@NaraMoore @fujiwara ICE, capitals :)

It’s from Neuromancer.

@yon @fujiwara Over 50 years since I read that.

But I recognize the reference now that you explain it.

@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.

@yon @fujiwara Oh well, I must have the date wrong or a rounding error.

@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.
