Cyberpunk Quote by Misha
““As he walked...he picked up the holodreams of the suits... _I believe_. A yellow-suited man was flying one World War II plane and fighting another. He had his arms out and banked and turned like he was actually flying. Tommy sniggered. Everything was nostalgia, dull, plebian, safe and nothing, nothing in all this magical world was the least bit new or upsetting.””
