Thought of the Day

[coraa]

I still enjoy a lot of the cyberpunk I read ten years ago (I went through a cyberpunk phase), but I can't read, e.g., Neuromancer anymore without wondering whether Molly goes home and unwinds by watching pictures of cats with captions on them, or whether Case has ever indulged in a webcomic flamewar.*

I guess a worldwide computer network, like everything else, becomes drastically less edgy and cool when you actually put real people in it!
