🌁 A bridge in #Chongqing has grabbed the attention of visitors because of its unusual mix of both traditional Chinese and Western-style buildings.

@jmax That is discussed in chapter 41, "Transam," of #AllTomorrowsParties. It is discussed by Konrad (the assassin) and the mogul Cody Harwood.
""Bohemias. Alternative subcultures. They were a crucial aspect of industrial civilization in the 2 previous centuries. They were where industrial civilization went to dream. A sort of unconscious R&D, exploring alternate societal strategies…But they became extinct."
"Extinct?"
"We started picking them before they could ripen"

Rydell watched this man move ahead, in front of him & felt something complicated…He'd always dreamed of a special kind of grace…that was what he was seeing now: this guy who was maybe 50, who moved in a way that kept him in every bit of available shadow. And Rydell followed, in his pain & the clumsiness that induced, but also in the pain somehow of his adolescent heart, the boy in him having wanted all these years to be something like this man, whoever and whatever he was.

Rydell had a theory about virtual real estate. The smaller and cheaper the physical site of a given operation, the bigger and cheesier the website.

Security wants to know you're a player.
Otherwise, you'd steal.
Boomzilla understands that.

What Rydell needed was something they weren't expecting…whoever they were. He had an instructor in Knoxville who'd liked to talk about lateral thinking…What it took, sometimes, was just your basic #JackMove, something nobody, maybe even you, was expecting.

RYDELL: And I'm safer w/you than with these mercs?
KONRAD: I think so, yes. [frowning, as though he took the question very seriously]
R: You kill anybody else in the past 48 hours?
K: No, I did not.
R: I guess I'm w/you. I'm sure not going to try to fight you.
K: That is wise.

In Market Street, the nameless man who haunts Laney's nodal configuration has just seen a girl. Drowned down 3 decades, she steps fresh as creation from the bronze doors of some brokerage. And he remembers, in that instant, that she is dead, and he is not, and that this is another century.
…That other country, waiting.
He is by trade a keeper of the door to that country.
Drawn, the black blade becomes a key. When he holds it, he holds the wind in his hand.

1. CARDBOARD CITY
THROUGH this evening's tide of faces unregistered, unrecognized, amid hurrying black shoes, furled umbrellas, the crowd descending like a single organism into the stations airless heart, comes Shinya Yamazaki, his notebook clasped beneath his arm like the egg case of some modest but moderately successful marine species.
Evolved to cope with jostling elbows, Yamazaki & his small burden of information go down into the neon depths. @GreatDismal

Rydell was instantly engulfed in a fog of vodka & errant testosterone. He turned & saw Creedmore grinning fiercely, quite visibly free of the human condition...He was radiating an amphetamine-reptile menace now, his anger gone right off the mammalian scale. Rydell saw a little muscle pulsing in Creedmore's cheek, steady & involuntary as some tiny extra heart...
CREEDMORE (squinting at the #bridge crowd): Smells like a baitbox. Bet you could get you some weird-ass p**y here!
