He reached into the skeletal representation and pointed. `Hotels, strata-title property, big shops along here.' His hand moved. `Blue areas are lakes.' He walked to one end of the model. `Big cigar. Narrows at the ends.' | ” |

Freeside is a luxury entertainment venue constructed within a high-orbit space station, where Johnny Playstation was taken after being kidnapped from his concert in Chiba.
Rather than the Shadowrun RPG, Freeside is taken directly from the novel Neuromancer; but omits the Villa Straylight, the bizarrely architected home to the increasingly insane and detached Tessier-Ashpool family.
