"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel" Can't remember where I saw this pointed out, but this Gibson quote from neuromancer won't make any sense to anyone young enough to have not been exposed to analog TV. And most radios by default do channel scan, so you aren't even exposed to audio static as much anymore either.
