Turner remembered sunlight through a broad expanse of tinted
window. An airport bar, Puerto Vallarta. He'd had to walk
twenty meters from the plane, eyes screwed shut against the
sun. He remembered a dead bat pressed flat as a dry leaf on
runway concrete.

First William Gibson thing I ever read, when I was a freshman in high school, next to the current read. #williamgibson #countzero

What makes the #SprawlTrilogy urgently relevant today: Gibson explored AI autonomy, corporate dominance, and human-machine fusion decades before ChatGPT and surveillance capitalism. His vision isn’t escapist sci-fi—it’s a mirror of our technological present, showing where we’ve already arrived.

Lucas was no more threatening than Beauvoir, but Bobby was working on a new theory of personal deportment…that people who were genuinely dangerous might not need to exhibit the fact at all & that the ability to conceal a threat made them even more dangerous. >

FINN: The Wig sat on the beach at Cannes for two years, ingesting designer drugs. He had become convinced that God lived in cyberspace, or perhaps that cyberspace was God. The Wig's ventures into theology tended to be marked by major paradigm shifts, true leaps of faith. >

The signature for the TypeScript one with the same capability is:

function countZero<T>(grid: T[][]): number;

If you're familiar with generic programming in TypeScript, you might think it is automatically applied in OCaml.

BEAUVOIR: You think religion, what're you thinking about?
BOBBY NEWMARK: My mother's sister's a Scientologist. The woman across the hall's Catholic. My old lady put these holograms up in my room, Jesus or Hubbard.
BV: Vodou isn't like that. It isn't concerned w/salvation & transcendence

THE FINN: Big hoodoo man. Knows it's not the same. Hasn't been, not for a long time. I been in the trade forever. Before there was any matrix, or anyway before people knew there was one. I got a pair of shoes older than you are, so what the fuck should I expect you to know?

Reminded me of: In Heathrow, a vast chunk of memory detached itself from a blank bowl of airport sky and fell on him. He vomited into a blue plastic canister without breaking stride.

Turner found his point team crouched in the shade. Three of them; he smelled the coffee before he saw them. He was meant to smell it, of course; they were expecting him. Otherwise, he'd have found the ruin empty, & then, somehow, very quietly & almost naturally, he would have died.

Finished #Neuromancer, very cool read, definitely see how it helped to cement #Cyberpunk as the grim-tech-noir genre.
Also, clearly a huge inspiration to Cyberpunk2077, hard to read these books and not picture places and moments from the game.

Starting #CountZero now.

>Or maybe it's military, or it's taken a walk out of some zaibatsu's industrial espionage arm. You takin' this shit in, Bobby?

[Bobby nodded. He felt like he'd been waiting all his life to hear Beauvoir explain the workings of a world whose existence he'd only guessed at before]

Loved that novel, BTW. Saw that and figured it was the author's way of emphasizing, now having learned to typeset and having BUILT a couple of small pubs, I GET IT.

Always makes me think of the quote about art never being finished, only abandoned.

BOBBY: Beauvoir said Jackie's a horse for a snake called Danbala. Run that by me in street tech?
LUCAS: Think of Jackie as a cyberspace deck. Think of Danbala, who is called the snake, as a program. Say as an icebreaker. Danbala slots into the Jackie deck, Jackie cuts ice. That's all.

I finished 2023 reading Count Zero, the 2nd book of The Sprawl trilogy by William Gibson @greatdismal.bsky.social . I’ve never read it before. I really like Neuromancer and I really like the images that Gibson evokes in his books, it’s mind-blowing.
