Nice. The only opening line I remember offhand is from Neuromancer (which I'm glad to see is included in the site!)

"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel."

It's so interesting that the intuitive meaning of this has changed - first meaning grey, then bright blue, and now... perhaps black, perhaps nothing? What does "a dead channel" mean to kids today?

I recently re-read the sprawl trilogy and thought Neuromancer stood up very well, but the others not so much.
