Review of Banco de Gaia - Last Train to Lhasa reading “This is the sound of the techno-tribe, banging a drum with one hand and a mouse with the other. Toby Marks, aka Banco de Gaia, wants to bang on the drum all day, and he thankfully makes a pretty joyous noise”

Picture of a page from Thomas Pynchon - Shadow Ticket that reads: “Hicks signals for another Jack Rose, drinkers of which seem to make up a good percentage of the passenger list. Part of the appeal is watching a steward try to bring one across a deck forever in motion without spilling any from the glass it comes in, a shallow cone set on a long stem and filled to the brim. Instead of Stateside applejack they’re using calvados, and making the cocktail in bulk early each morning so that it can be delivered out of a convenient spigot arrangement. At this rate Hicks will be a screaming dipso before he ever sets foot on land again.”
Quote from Frank Herbert — Heretics of Dune: “Teg entered and saw immediately what he had found. They were to be seen at many places in the Old Empire: eating establishments harking back to ancient times, eschewing automata from kitchen to table. Most of them were “in” establishments. You told friends about your latest “discovery” with an admonishment for them not to spread the word. “Don’t want to spoil it with crowding.” This idea had always amused Teg. You spread the word about such places but you did it under the guise of keeping a secret.”
