Quote #8
[Trinity] switched on his laptop. "OK, she called the following number, which is a telephone in a town called Alice Springs [...]." (25.187)

Quote #9
[Salander:] "I admit it. I just have no idea how it works. It's not only computers and telephone networks, but the motor in my bike, and TV sets and vacuum cleaners and chemical properties and formulae in astrophysics. I'm a nut case, I admit it: a freak." (27.96)
