Neal Stephenson Quote
The managerthunks down a couple of steps, glares at her, glares at her for rather a longtime. The manager, clearly, is tempted. That momentary glimpse of flesh hasbeen ricocheting around in his brain for half an hour. He is wracking his mindwith vast cosmological dilemmas. Y.T., hopes that he does not try anything,because the dentata's effects can be unpredictable.Make up your fucking mind, she says.It works. This fresh burst of culture shock rattles the jeek out of his ethicalconundrum. He gives Y.T. a disapproving glower -- she, after all, forced him tobe attracted to her, forced him to get horny, made his head swim -- she didn'thave to get arrested, did she? -- and so on top of everything else he's angrywith her. As if he has a right to be.This is the gender that invented the polio vaccine?
