# Quote — William Gibson, Agency

> The city so quiet, in that moment, that he could hear the gulls.
>
> Then a car passed, an antique Rolls, unoccupied, its driver a dash-top homunculus, in what he took to be a tiny chauffeur’s uniform.
>
> He walked on, intent on milk, his dreams of skating forgotten.
