My dad gave this to me for christmas - said it was the first “cyberpunk” story ever told, but loads of myth and grail lore. I liked it for the most part, even if Katin got on my nerves. Absolutely understated horror of plugging a body into a machine for work- like maybe too understated, considering the Ashton Clark stuff. Definitely one someone could reread. I love the last line.
