Thus far in reading Neuromancer, it is very clear that this world is extremely reliant on technology. Since Case has had his abilities taken away for undermining his employer, he seems extremely lost in a world that solely operates through technology. Case is nothing now that he is not the well-known hacker he was in the past. \u00a0When reading I was constantly amazed the by the use of technology. For example when Case is with Armitage and Molly, they were able to look at his \u201cprofile\u201d and through the use of technology predict that within a year Case would need a new pancreas. Also, that fact that Armitage was able to completely repair Case\u2019s Nervous system, illustrates just how progressive this society is in its medical abilities, which is directly related to technology.<\/p>\n
I also found it interesting that because technology is such a vital component of this society, that Case is willing to do whatever re-enter this technological world. All of his abilities were taken away after undermining his employer and he becomes miserable, but is still willing to do work with Molly and undermine Armitage, with the possibility of similar consequences in the end. Yet, Case barely hesitates enters this world all over again. I think that with technology Case feels safe, even if he could potentially be caught. Because when Case was without his hacking abilities he was extremely paranoid that Wage would kill him. He is asking around seeing if the rumor is true and he even buys a weapon. \u00a0In my opinion, this signifies somewhat of how we are in society when it comes to technology. Case was lost without his abilities through technology. Similarly, when our technology is not working properly we tend to get anxious, wanting everything to work. We feel as if we are missing out on social media sites when our phones or our computers are not on. We may not be as paranoid as Case was, but I do believe there is a sense of a paranoia when our technology is not readily available that way we would prefer it to be at all times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
