The military and diplomatic communications of the preceding fifty years showed before the light of their minds. At the same time as they surveyed the satellite data, Mr. Slippery and Erythrina swept through these bureaucratic communications, looking carefully but with flickering speed at every requisition for toilet paper, every "declaration" of secret war, every travel voucher, everyone of the trillions of pieces of "'paper" that made it possible for the machinery of state to creak forward. And here the signs were much clearer; large sections were subtly changed, giving the same feeling the eye's blind spot gives, the feeling that nothing is really obscured but that some things are simply gone. Some of the distortions were immense. Under their microscopic yet global scrutiny, it was obvious that all of Venezuela, large parts of Alaska, and most of the economic base for the low satellite net were all controlled by some single interest that had little Connection with the proper owners. Who their enemy was still a mystery, but his works loomed larger and larger around them.
The fact that nobody has succeeded in translating Neuromancer to the big screen is a testament to Gibson's ability to make something that's usually so dry and technical truly come to life.

"Jesus Christ. What did you call it?"

"It's Chinese?"
"Yes."
