- gwern 15y agoPerhaps because it is a misquote; my .txt reads: "What the fuck do you want?" "Y.T., I'm sorry about this. But something's going on. Something big time. I'm keeping one eye on a big biker named Raven." "The problem with you hackers is you never stop working." "That's what a hacker is," Hiro says. "I'll keep an eye on this Raven guy, too," she says, "sometime when I am working." Then she hangs up.
- dicroce 15y agoYT was also briefly in "The Diamond Age". :)
- tristan_louis 15y agoTrue. That one always blew my mind as it really created a link between the two books. I was half expecting some of the characters to reappear when Cryptonomicon came out (didn't happen but Cryptonomicon has some linkage to the Baroque chronicles)
- phuff 15y agoWhere is YT in the Diamond Age?
- sspencer 15y agoShe's never explicitly named; the only thing that gives her away is a single phrase: "chiseled spam" I love literary Easter eggs like that.
