Okay, I was wary about this until now. But if Facebook’s acquisition of Oculus means CYBERPUNK WAR, then I’m on-board!
Team Tessier-Ashpool?

As long as the space rastas are involved, I am down, Also when do we get to move on to the bay bridge.
It won’t really be a cyberpunk war until employees of Facebook looking to change careers to Google and the like face the same sorts of challenges as Soviet defectors and require elaborate plans to get away from their handlers.
Zuckerberg a rude boy, Case. Facebook Zuckerberg boat.
Hrm… Facebook IS the color of television tuned to a dead channel…
Team Marcus Garvey, indeed.
