Conclusion

The end of Neuromancer tied together a lot of loose ends in the story, and also open to a lot of question of why and what will. In the end Case finally meets the title, Neuromancer, a sibling AI of Wintermute. It turns out that Neuromancer was responsible for the killing of Linda Lee, in order to trap Case in cyberspace. Neuromancer brought up dead memories of Linda Lee to control Case and try to manipulate his emotion of love, to keep him in cyberspace. However it fails, as Case lost all emotion for Linda Lee. As of the goals of Wintermute, it wanted to fuse with his brother and become the matrix. It succeed and that is that. Case is still trying to find his reason of living, and start to understand some what the direction he has to go. Molly leaves Case, the reason unknown. Even though Gibson hints that Molly likes Case, most likely because Case resembles Johnny (a person Molly cared for a lot).And Case returns back to Sprawl and continue his life, the end of the story just leaves a lot of question.

Question such as, If Wintermute saved Case from the turing, why didn't he warn him of Neuromancer? What will happen to the city after Wintermute is the matrix, he seems evil and good at the sametime. What of Case and Molly further relationship? What will happen to Dixie? And is cyberspace is open after wintermute is the matrix?

P.S. I think Molly left Case for the reason that she cared for him too much. Like Johnny and the lesson she learned from the Yazuka, is that the more you pour into something, the more it hurts when you lose it. So Molly didn't want to experience the pain anymore, so she left before it got too serious for both of them.
