Then ten more. He began "drawing" wires across the ceiling of his digital alleyway like a weaver possessed.
Elias gripped his mouse, a chill running down his spine that had nothing to do with the air conditioning. He looked at the render. The virtual cables in his "Neo-Tokyo" weren't just decor anymore; they were plugged into a server rack that he hadn't modeled.
