He’d operated on an almost permanent adrenaline high, a byproduct of youth and proficiency, jacked into a custom cyberspace deck that projected his disembodied consciousness into the consensual hallucination that was the Matrix.”
—William Gibson b. (1948)
“They played the eloquent tum-tum,
And lived on scalps served up in rum—
The only sauce they knew.”
