William Gibson, Neuromancer

Neal Stephenson

“The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.”
William Gibson, Neuromancer

John Hodgman
“If you have not seen it, FOOTBALL is a game in which men shove one another back and forth for no reason. They do not choose how, when, or whom they shove. All that has been decided for them in advance. All they need to do is follow the orders given to them before the game, showing them where to run and how to violently deploy the meat of their bodies against the meat that is running at them. They are doing this in order to please one angry old man on the sidelines. This old man is called the "coach" or "yelling surrogate dad who will never be happy.”
John Hodgman, That is All
