"Dia sudah mati rasa sejak lama, bertahun-tahun. Sepanjang malam di Ninsei, malam-malamnya bersama Linda, mati rasa di ranjang dan mati rasa di pusat keringat dingin setiap transaksi narkoba. Tetapi sekarang dia telah menemukan benda hangat ini, serpihan pembunuhan ini. Daging, sebagian dari dirinya berkata. Ini bicaranya daging, abaikan saja."

--- William Gibson

Versi Bahasa Inggris

He'd been numb a long time, years. All his nights down Ninsei, his nights with Linda, numb in bed and numb at the cold sweating center of every drug deal. But now he'd found this warm thing, this chip of murder. Meat, some part of him said. It's the meat talking, ignore it.
