	It's a popular color/dress in many SF books, and I would think
it would be especially popular in Cyberpunk.. which it is...  I'm not
sure about the comment that _everyone_ male in _Neuromancer_ wore black.
I would say some were, and those were probably stressed, but I imagine
some of the jumpsuits were other colors.. maybe it just wasn't noted...

	But for me, I think the most 'cyber-ist' fashion was the 
mirrorted contact lenses that someone here posted about.  Now _that_
would be cyberpunk.
