Eye of the Giger: Homage to New York

“They are like Giger's paintings of New York, Yamazaki had said but the reference had been lost on Laney. Now he sat on the edge of his bed staring blankly out at these miracles of the new technology, as banal and as sinister as such miracles usually were; […] the world's largest inhabited structures.”

Nanotech skyscrapers inspired by the Swiss master Hans Ruedi Giger's beautiful 1982 series inspired by the buildings of New York.

It doesn't rhyme with 'tiger', by the way, but the pun was too good to miss.
