Mona Lisa Overdrive (Sprawl, #3)

by William Gibson

Slick Henry hated the Judge. That was what the art people never understood. That didn’t mean it didn’t give him pleasure to have built the thing, to have gotten the Judge out, out where he could see him and keep track of him and finally, sort of, be free of the idea of him, but that sure wasn’t the same as liking him.

but nobody ever really understood what happened up there, when Case rode that Chinese icebreaker through their core ice.”
