@shinjiGive me the mainland for a nerve job any day. Fix you right, mate.... Now that, Case said to his glass, all his bitterness suddenly rising in him like bile, that is so much bullshit. The Japanese had already forgotten more neurosurgery than the Chinese had ever known. The black clinics of Chiba were the cutting edge, whole bodies of technique supplanted monthly, and still they couldn't repair the damage he'd suffered in that Memphis hotel. A year here and he still dreamed of cyberspace, hope fading nightly.
