Neuromancer

It would be a very good idea to check out the following site: []

The following essay has an interesting discussion of genre towards the end. (Actually I thought the whole thing was interesting) []

William Gibson's official website: []

Gibson's texts can provide good related material for your Area of Study Belonging paper in Advanced English. Consider the way Case feels he belongs to cyberspace. He also wrote a short story called 'The Belonging Kind' which could be quite useful. media type="youtube" key="pXZpfoFyFyI" height="315" width="420"

Do a little research on the text and see if it is available for purchase - it has the very interesting characteristic of being designed to self destruct as you read it, so you can only ever experience it once before it vanishes and thereafter must live only in memory. I haven't seen the real one - which comes with photographs - but the following is a link to the text that accompanies the photographs. [] The text of Neuromancer might also make a good related text for 'History and Memory' - particularly those parts where the AI is constructing a virtual reality out of Case's memories. There are numerous quotes by Gibson available which explicitly reference his interest in the nature of memory. If you are interested, ask me for a copy of the epilogue to the book 'Cyberpunk and cyberculture' by Dani Cavallaro - it has some good material which will help. And if you go to Gibson's official website and find the archived Blog entry for January 2003, you will see an excellent discussion of History and Memory by Gibson himself.

Don't worry about the following video - I just needed it and wanted to store it somewhere - it isn't really relevant to our study here....
