The quote is from William Gibson, one of my favourite authors, and is a kind of mantra a character uses to fend off panic attacks -- try to remind myself of the need to calm down and think.

I love William Gibson, mostly based on Neuromancer. For me, it's enough. What brilliance to see so far into the future of tech at the time he wrote that! Time to read it again.

I actually prefer his (I'm trying to work out the temporal words) -- I prefer his novels based now but I do appreciate he may have invented aq lot of future human-machine interactions.
