The Winter Market by William Gibson
"There was coffee. Life would go on." -narrator/Casey
"You know what your trouble is? You're the kind who -always- -reads- -the- -manual-. Anything people build, any kind of technology, it's going to have some specific purpose. It's for doing something that comebody already understands. But if it's new technology, it'll open up areas nobody's ever thought of before. You read the manuel, man, and you won't play around with it, not the same way. And you get all funny when somebody else uses it to do something you never thought of." -Rubin Stark
"... you never know how big anything's liable to be." -narrator/Casey
"He's devoted to this place. He loathes the Greek counterman; it's mutual, a real relationship. If the counterman left, Rubin might not come back." -narrator/Casey
"Sometimes it looks to me like nobody in particular lives ther. Not that it's that messy; I'm a good if somewhat robotic housekeeper, and even remember to dust the tops of framed posters and things, but I have these times when the place abruptly gives me a low-grade chill, with its basic accumulation of basic consumer goods. I mean, it's not like I want to fill it up with cats or houseplants or anything, but there are moments when I see that anyone could be living there, could own those things, and it all seems sort of interchangeable, my life and youres, my life and anybody's..." -narrator/Casey
"It was one of those nights, I quickly decided, when you slip into an alternate continuum, a city that looks exactly like the one where you live except for one peculiar difference, that it contains not one person you love or have even spoken to before." -narrator/Casey
"... no human motive is ever entirely pure." -narrator/Casey
