    The month is Compuary, which is a new cyber-month they added just for doing hacker stuff.

    A what now? To do what again?

    And they do sex stuff up there as well.

    Reeeeealy?

    There’s Baltimore Airport, lab-grown to be a swimsuit model but programmed to kill.

    Obviously a complex character with depth.

    There’s Crusty Silverware…

    Say no more … please.

    Infiltrate the dome and take out Harvard Pubence, the president of cops.

    You son of a bitch, I’m in!

    Tonight, Pubence is guest of honor at the 9th annual Rich Perverts’ Ball.

    OMG! Stop I already said I was in!

    My team jacked up on Tums 2

    Seriously, I need to read this book or my life may never feel complete!

        Nooooo! 😭 I so badly wanted this to be real. I had even looked it up by ISBN to try and order it. The ISBN is for a book titled Brute Orbit, if anybody is curious.

          It reminded me of a strange book I read when I was young, an 80s sci-fi I think was called “the wizard of sunset strip”

          I’d have absolutely believed this could have been a book by them

          https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/502308.The_Wizard_of_Sunset_Strip

          When mutilated bodies begin turning up in Hollywood and the police are baffled, the young wizard Wydrune and his band–a beautiful cat burglar, a Cockney punk possessed by the spirit of Merlin, and Camelot’s last survivor–take the case

      No but William Gibson does have a bunch of near future novels that i recommend

      I think with ChatGPT and Tinder getting in bed together recently as well as advertisers creating their own AI influencers, the book Idoru is probably a pretty decent read for anyone who wants to give him a try

    I’m so in. Where do I sign up. No, for real though, what is the name of this book. I must own a copy.
