“He is an electric ghost painted in the colours of a dead moment.”
Joseph MacKinnon, Cypulchre

“In the CLOUD, reflections mirror reflections, cutting out the object and leaving only infinite emptiness.”
Joseph MacKinnon, Cypulchre

“These vertical suburbs--jet black glass structures in matte-grey iron and titanium corsets.--boast their own mayors and their own municipal services. They flicker with illegally-rerouted power and pirated water--pumped up external piping from the Toronto Syndicate's aquifers in San Jaquin.”
Joseph MacKinnon, Cypulchre

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.”
George Orwell, 1984

“Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts... A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding...”
William Gibson, Neuromancer

“Southern California doesn't know whether to bustle or just strangle itself on the spot.”
Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash

“There are more kinds of fools than one can guard against.”
Joseph Conrad, The Secret Agent

“I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Player Piano
