Neuromancer, Chiba City

Cyberspace, the home of Case. In William Gibson "Neuromancer", Case lives in a city of Japan called Chiba. It is a very dark and gloomy place, dark and gray clouds look over it, as Case will describe it. He goes and visit many place in Chiba, to one find the information on a cure for his nervous system, and two to find out whether that Wage (a person Case owns money to) is really out to do him in. Many illegal and dangerous activity happen in Chiba; such as prostitution, drugs, and mercenaries. It is not a safe place to be, yet Case ventures into the deeper and more darker part of Chiba, Night City. Ninsei is where Night City is, sure the place is filled with arcades, massage parlors, and coffee shops. But it also where the "street samurai" (a group of mercenaries) and the black market is as well. Case goes to Ratz bar often, to gather information on where people are going, where they been, and what is up. He also goes to an old man by the name of Julie, who is more then 100+ years old, and seems very attached to old belongs.It had many old furniture and lamps, and stuff that Julie doesn't even have time to reassemble. Case lives in a cheap hotel, which seem like a pod (coffin) where they store stuff and sleep.

However dark and dirty cyberspace is, Case feels more at home in this dangerous space. The thought of getting chased, buying guns, doing all these illegal things excites him. Compare to the external world, cyberspace is where Case prefers to be despite its depressing atmosphere. In cyberspace, Case feels more at home, most likely due to past experience in cyberspace and things he can not do in the external world.
