@goatrodeo @BoredomFestival "The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel" So confusing in 2026. What, it's completely black? Or in 2030, it's showing non-stop ads?

@roadskater @goatrodeo @BoredomFestival I read a critic's take on one of Gibson's later books, in which the critic asserted that cyberpunk, like newspapers, is writing for the now, with no consideration for how it might age at all. I don't like the idea but I haven't been able to fault it, either.
