The Neuromancer Book Goes As Fast As The TikTok Generation. I am not surprised that Apple is now working to make it into a TV series, what really surprised me when the book was written... 1984.
How could William Gibson have such perspicacious insights? Did he have access to privileged information? Was he able to visit the future in a dream? Or it was just the result of a brilliant mind doing what it was gifted to do?
Here in this article, I bring you 10 reasons to read the book, or should I say 1010? Binary joke intended.
- We are talking about the book that inspired The Matrix, shouldn't we give it some credit already?
- Get a glance at how far medicine can go in the future, treating diseases or even influencing the aesthetic of society;
- Welcome to cyberspace, a term popularized by Gibson in Neuromancer, a book that won The Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick awards;
- Understand how technology could influence our behaviour, and what the side effects would be
- Among all the countries and cities mentioned in the book, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil has a great deal of importance in the plot;
- Jack in/Jack out. Be prepared to be confused while reading the book. Is this happening in real life or inside the matrix?
- Can you imagine a world where people would rather prefer to live in the matrix? tsctsc
- Get a ride on a modern cowboy's life, 'Case' the story protagonist is a hacker and that's what they are called.
- Visualize how the world would be whether populated with several different AIs.
- Addiction and dependency are a thing in Gibson's plot, ironically in the future people struggle not only with drugs and alcohol but also with sex, violence, and technology.
A must-read book for technology lovers, whether you decide to read it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Take care and see you in the next blog post.
