“He looks as though he’s somehow, in spite of the evening’s cunningly vegan cuisine, been infused with live extract of hot beef.”

William Gibson, Pattern Recognition

[pornosophical]

Relatively tiny in terms of permanent staff, globally distributed, more post-geographic than multinational, the agency has from the beginning billed itself as a high-speed, low-drag life-form in an advertising ecology of lumbering herbivores. Or perhaps as some non-carbon based life-form, entirely sprung from the smooth and ironic brow of its founder, Hubertus Bigend, a nominal Belgian who looks like Tom Cruise on a diet of virgins' blood and truffled chocolates.

International Klein Blue

The suit JT is wearing is exactly the shade - International Klein Blue - of the suit Hubertus Bigend wears in William Gibson’s Zero History. It’s a disorienting blue. It’s electric.

"...In that sense, we have no future. Not in the sense that our grandparents had a future, or thought they did. Fully imagined cultural futures were the luxury of another day, one in which 'now' was of some greater duration. For us, of course, things can change so abruptly, so violently, so profoundly, that futures like our grandparents' have insufficient 'now' to stand on. We have no future because our present is too volatile."

- Hubertus Bigend from William Gibson's Pattern Recognition
