  Is this from Neuromancer per chance? I own the book and never read it.

  I do not want to acknowledge how long I have owned it though, lol. It is crazy how things can end up backlogged.

    Yes. In the beginning of the book, down-on-his-luck Case is sleeping in a rental coffin since it’s all he can afford for accommodations.

      That’s super interesting (given the post context).

      I’m going to have to knock this out already then, I’m off work for a week. If I can finish The Hobbit in a day, I can do the same here!

      Thank you for the response, I’ll try and report back if I actually keep up my current motivation.
