“Power, in Case’s world, meant corporate power. The zaibatsus, the multinationals ..., had ... attained a kind of immortality. You couldn’t kill a zaibatsu by assassinating a dozen key executives; there were others waiting to step up the ladder; assume the vacated position, access the vast banks of corporate memory.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“They played the eloquent tum-tum,
And lived on scalps served up in rum—
The only sauce they knew.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
