I miss Molly already.
The book was blissfully short, yay! I sure did space out on blogging for awhile though, oops. Thinking back to our discussion in class though, I can understand why Case was on such a self-destructive path, and that personality quirk alone makes the characterization in this book much better than in the other two we've read. Also, I didn't get to say this before, but in regard to the feminism theme in this book I think that Molly was supposed to be some kind of "girl power" symol in there, mainly because anyone that messed with her was bound to get killed, end of story. Then there was the fusion of Neuromancer and Wintermute, it makes me wonder if the writer of Ghost in the Shell read Neuromancer first because it's so similar to that AI in that movie trying to fuse with Major Kusanagi's consciousness in order to attain freedom and some higher plane of existence. I think that the old greek philosophers would love to read this story just to have something to think about.

You know, you had me for a second there. Then those "Ghost in Shell" comments started up and you lost me. Don't worry, its not you- its me. I'm just really, really out of place here...
