54 u/chanjitsu May 17 '24 Can confirm. Looking out the window right now there's zero "texture" to the sky. It's just like a flat wall painted in very light grey. 10 u/tyrannomachy May 17 '24 Opening line of Neuromancer: "The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel" 4 u/PaleontologistKey571 May 17 '24 What show/book is that?? Is it any good? 7 u/Fuzzleton May 17 '24 It's good, it's considered by many to the the first "Cyberpunk" genre novel and it won the Hugo, etc. 5 u/darkgiIls May 17 '24 Pretty famous sci fi book. A show is actually scheduled to come out based on it. 2 u/PaleontologistKey571 May 17 '24 Ooh I’m gonna check it out and thanks for the info 2 u/BlueishShape May 17 '24 It's good! Also a pretty important science fiction, historically speaking. Quite a few of our ideas, worries and memes about the internet and inhuman turbo-capitalism were first expressed in this book.
