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.

Neuromancer motif and framework

A constant motif/framework in these few chapters of "Neuromancer" is the compare and contrast advance of new technology and old technology, as well as the attempt to advance but the unwillingness to forget the old. The cybernetic world is much more advance then anything we have in present day. It is chilling how William Gibson writes of a car which can talk, drive itself, and park with a command that hasn't been invented yet. And programs (moderns) that let you see what other people are seeing. Also, due to the new technology there is much more intellegent Artificial intelligence, as described by Case: "Depends. Some aren't much smarter than dogs. Pets. Cost a fortune anyway. The real smart ones are as smart as the Turing heat is willing to let ' em get." (91).Through what Case has said, it is suggested that the AI are capable of doing a lot, the sky is the limit for the AI. However advance the technology the characters in "Neuromancer" are still unable to let go of the past. Many items such as Nambu (old WW2 pistol use by the Japanese) and a .357 magnum are used by Case and friends to do their jobs. One would expected with the new advance technology they would use something like a lightsaber or ray gun of some sort. Not only are they unable to escape old relics of the past, but their names are also a sign of the past. "Street Samurai" is what Molly and their crew is addressed as, however Samurai were ancient warriors that did not fit in with their modern technology.

Another motif/framework in Neuromancer, is romance. Case has grow even closer with Molly, there is constant scene where Case is sleeping next to Molly, and most of the time Molly is naked. Which shows how initimate and strong their relationship has grow ever since Case left Chiba City. However even though he left Chiba City, his heart is still there with Linda Lee. He still cares about her and still wants her, and it is told through his memory when it was erected by Julie in their conversation about the wintermute. "I had a cigarette and a girl and a place to sleep. Do you hear me, you son of a bitch? you hear me?" (115) This quote shows the anger in Case in what he lost a few seconds ago. It shows the simple things in Case life, even though technology is much more advance; all Case wants it a person to love, a place to stay, and a cigarette.
