Duel in Cyberspace
Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination
experienced daily by billions of legitimate

of every computer in the human system.
Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in
the non-space of the mind, clusters and
constellations of data. Like city lights,
receding
--William Gibson, Neuromancer
