- No offence, but what's with the Eurocentered perspective.
-
- Molly: size is right, but how about asian or eurasian?
- Case: a brain toasted no one with wicked shoes (the laurie guy from down
- by law and stranger than paradise)
- Armytage: shit, you're right with that one....
-
- Director? Some suitable Japanese/Hong Kong director, Jarimush, Cronenberg
-
- Music? Your choices sound good, but again too euro for Gibson's world.
- How about Ryuchi Sakamoto, YMO, Screeming Nose to compliment your
- particular palate.

- This is not a flame, by any means, but I sometimes wonder how much
- is edited in reader's subconscious when I see people proposing line-ups
- which oppose so obviously some of the important themes in the book.
-
- I know that we all want this to work, in the worst way.
-
- Just pray to the gallium arsinide god of 5th generation systems, and the
- sub-saint of parallel processing.
