Neuromancer in Tokyo

Wow! Very interesting to say the least. I can definitely see the inspiration for "The Matrix" coming from this book. Although it is interesting how a hacker can access the "network" or the internet by being mentally physically there I hope that never happens to us as a society in real life. I feel that if that happens people will lose all physical connection with real life and become delusional to what is real and what is illusion. It like case of one of those online game addicts when that is all they do and even when they aren't playing the game they feel like they are still apart of it. I support some technology and its advances if it benefits humans sparingly and healthfully. if that is a word. I'm a very naturalistic kind of guy and i believe people should respect nature and make it apart of their lives. I feel that technology and nature should flow and balance each other. For example hydroelectric cars clean and efficient and very "GREEN". Another example here in sarasota there used to be a landfill close by. but the city changed it into a field of rolling hills with the trash underneath it that will decompose over thousands of years. And another thing it doesn't even smell! Technology should benefit us and also benefit nature which in turn will benefit us. I think some people forget that we are animals ourselves we aren't robots. we need nature as much as the animals do. Even in the future if we are slightly bionic with artificial parts we still have a soul that needs sunshine not smog. That's why introducing a game system that connects to your brain is unhealthy for us. It would be like introducing a new drug. Speaking of drugs I found that the artificial pancreas was so interesting. wouldn't that be great in the future if we could give addicts artificial parts to help eliminate their addictions to harmful substances. although it would probably be way to expensive for people not living in or above higher middle class. Or if we could give cancer patients artificial parts such as lungs for smokers. maybe in the future things will be less stressful with its advances but then again it might make everyone really lazy. that would be kind of bad. I think its funny how every story seems to have a romance in it. even in sci-fi genres. Cause when i think of sci-fi i think of robots and space, not human emotions like love. i like how in this story the romance between molly and case just ends. after all the things they when through all hot and heavy and on this epic adventure. at the end case goes back to hacking and finds a new girlfriends and molly millions just peaces out. like what? this book has everything a stereotypical movie has today drugs, love, sex, crime, action, tragedy, the works. The world gibson created is very corrupt and thats the way the world turn out if we let technology dominate our lives not work with our lives.

'neuro'

stands for nerves and artificial intelligence

'mancer'

stands for a (white) magician and romance. It also stands for Case as a computer "hacker" who disrupts the social order (much like an evil magician) by throwing virus programs into society, thus causing chaos in the world.

The word is also a pun from the word "Necromancer": magician dealing in evil spirits and death. 

pretty cool!
