Computing Virtual Reality: "A square of cyberspace directly in front of him flipped sickeningly and he found himself in a pale blue graphic that seemed to represent a very spacious apartment, low shapes of furniture sketched in hair-fine lines of blue neon. A woman stood in front of him, a sort of glowing cartoon squiggle of a woman, the face a brown smudge. '...What is this? I mean, if you could sort of explain...' He still couldn't move. The 'window' showed a blue-gray video view of palm trees and old buildings. 'How do you mean?' ... 'This sort of drawing. And you. And that old picture...' 'Hey, man, I paid a designer an arm and a leg to punch this up for me. This is my space, my construct. This is L.A., boy. People here don't do anything without jacking. This is where I entertain.'
