Factory near Chicago

[edit]

I've been trying to figure out where in the book it's mentioned that Factory is near Chicago, but I can't come up with anything but vague references to Cleveland. Is this accurate? Rnb (talk) 03:46, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My pirated text file of the book (version 1.1) does not contain the word Chicago. Here's a relevant excerpt from "In a Lonely Place":

Yeah, that was the passage I read earlier tonight in my re-reading, and I recalled this entry's assertion that it was near Chicago. I'm just curious where that came from, but so far I'm coming up empty. Rnb (talk) 04:10, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some of this info has been edited back into the article, into the Influences section. I've split this into a Legacy section, but perhaps it should just be deleted? At least the bit about the Matrix trilogy being inspired by the Sprawl trilogy needs a source (it obviously was, but a source would be nice).
