Neuromancer

So far, this text seems to be going the way of "The Matrix." They already are talking about the matrix as some mysterious entity, giving it an enigmatic aura. We have met our disenfranchised loner hero-to-be Case. He definitely has Hans Solo characteristics having been a killer and thief. It’s funny how the intertextuality unit has altered the way I see things in texts, because I now make all sorts of connections with all sorts of movies, shows, books I’ve seen/read before. For example, when Armitage threatened Case with the “there’s toxin filled cysts (or something like that) that are going to dissolve into your bloodstream unless you help us” threat, all I could think about was the character Jigsaw in all the recent “Saw” movies.

So far, it seems like a good book, and although there’s lots of jargon that I’m not getting at all, I’m anticipating a lot of good action.
