Here’s the real question: did Gibson write Neuromancer before or after Bill Gates said no one would ever conceivably need more than 640k of RAM?

I'm not sure, but I always found it mildly amusing that he wrote it on a manual typewriter.

Yeah, but tbf, Case was pretty jacked up at the time.
Also, there’s a market now for obsolete stuff.
