The city as circuit board, hardware to wetware ... and you can call Venezuela for free from a payphone, just need to record that sound it makes when you deposit $5 onto a mini-cassette recorder and play it back when they ask you to deposit.
The Plague, aka Eugene the computer security guy for an oil company, has created the Da Vinci virus to overturn a bunch of computerized tankers, but it's all a ruse to cover up a worm collecting millions from the company, and he's putting it on the hackers. It's mostly undetectable to the sheeple but the hackers can see what's really going on, they are screensaver peeled eyeballs bouncing around in zipping corridors of code, green numbers and purple lightning bolts, they're rollerblading through Grand Central, making off-color jokes, swapping door-stopper books full of UNIX code and selling pirated tapes at their haunt, Cyberdelia. Zero Cool cum Crash Override, Acid Burn, Cereal Killer ... the names mix memory with desire.
I noticed the Plague had a little snake brooch, and Razor and Blade, the TV stars of "Hack the Planet," had Mona Lisa upholstery. Everyone wears miniscule sunglasses at night and have neon-colored beepers. The story is sort of mush but I thoroughly enjoyed 105 minutes with the Prodigy on plastic-bag covered headphones blading through the Matrix ... worth it just for the time travel to a nineties even the nineties could not have imagined for itself.
