forrests neromancer thoughts

Cyberpunk goes against the clean-cut scientist archetype. Case is an intelligent no nonsense coder, but he is also a career criminal. The underbelly moving from one high to the next. Life simplified to one half remembered memory to the next. He is truly a punk. The matrix itself is a drug case uses to manipulate pure information.
Problems to solve, obsession. Reality disappears, many drug users defend drug use as a way to understanding abstract. Consumerism in itself is an addiction. Humans are taught from birth that one object can never hold one's interest indefinitely. By nature we will be bored, and by nature lust for bigger, and shinier widgets, and fashions to achieve the cool. What is cool you might ask? cool is as it's dictated by corporations and the God capitalism. Case is an antihero he is not struggling for the greater good, but his own survival. Love is as it's dictated by 21st-century standards focusing on the moment and the situation more than the everlasting. At one point in case does indeed love Molly, but easily parts with her after all the loose ends are tied. In real life, we fall in love, and in turn love dies and in turn turns to resent

The technology defined in neromanmancer is completely dominated by the Japanese. Technology is only describe by brand-name. The matrix itself is defined as a living organism. Viruses are described as living entities of color and shape. The only connection case has with the physical is his fingers tapping. Technology goes beyond simple convenience into a form of religion.nermamaner is the guardian of the coders/Cowboys. Wintermute who in many resembles a demon using deception and trickery using his own memory against him. On a sidenote, I believe this is much scarier than simple robotics taking over the world in one's own mind is at the mercy of sentient being that terrifies me.. When an artificial intelligence you controls your own consciousness, and literally has to kill you. Being addict of technology, and in favor of most things I would pull the plug in this instance.
