Good interpretation dm. Actually you are our central processing unit and
we just run little subroutines off of whatever you're occupying your mind
with. You read Gibson, we drink gin, that kind of thing.
So if Tom Robbins wrote Neuromancer how would it read?
Gibson: "The sky above the port was the color of television tuned to a dead
channel."
Channeled Robbins: The television is the most unselfish of lovers. It
transmits not disease but ease, not intellectual challenge, but soothing
conformist propaganda. TV is not like the electronic weenie they call the
vibrator, which recalls with its amorous hum the beach blanket bimbos of
Beach Boy songs, the hum of surf, the hum of wannabee cosmic
sensationalists on a bad Hari day, the hum of slow waves on a day the
surfers sleep in, the hum of two lips pressed just THERE! No, television
doesn't demand attention, intention or pretention, you just lie back and
enjoy it. That's why the television, not the vibrator, is the official
electrical device of this novel, this novel called Neurodancer
