#alternate futures recursing back on themselves!
Via Gizmodo via Boing Boing: Akihabra News article “2nd hand electronics sales will soon be illegal in Japan”:
So from April 1st 2006, ALL electronic products sold in Japan before 2001 will be prohibited from the 2nd hand market!
Instantly brings to mind Gibson’s line from Neuromancer re: “…in Japan, cash had been illegal for a decade…” (or something along those lines).Gives me teh creeps…
