It's so interesting that the intuitive meaning of this has changed - first meaning grey, then bright blue, and now... perhaps black, perhaps nothing? What does "a dead channel" mean to kids today?

I recently re-read the sprawl trilogy and thought Neuromancer stood up very well, but the others not so much.

To me, not just grey but an ever shifting speckled rainbow colored static with a heavy bias towards grey.
:) Me too, but it seemed like the people who knew would know and for the ones who didn't "grey" was going to be close enough...
to kids today a dead channel would likely mean a youtube channel with no posts for a few years
