hardline mike also makes a notable appearance in "the pants book" ( zero history by william gibson )
( i went to find this image which i knew i had posted in a discord like a year ago 'cause i didn't wanna have to flip through the book to find it again even if i remember roughly where it was so like it wouldn't take that long
and it was posted in reference to hardline mike then too lmao i'm like a small corpus markov model of myself foreal )
