Abstract

“When the shadows grow deeper, and skeletal hands pull the curtain closed, and the talking heads of CNN glow like gibbous moons in the corner, and the majordomo throws another Branch Davidian on the fire, then my choice is clear: I’ll pull my collar up and hunker down under the rusty springs of the couch with another heaping helping of Data Trash.” — Bruce Sterling
