However, Gibson s main focus is on technology. If he followed through and accomplished what Armitage required of him, he would be given an enzyme that would somehow dissolve the sacs of noxious chemicals without affecting Case whatsoever. Additionally, Case is joined by Molly, a cybernetically enhanced street samurai that works for Armitage. Several technologies are touched upon in Gibson s novel.
Genetic engineering is quite advanced, and commonly practiced.
More interestingly however, is the convergence of computers and other technologies with human beings. In Gibson s futuristic world, cyberspace is completely different from what we would think of. The cyberspace of Neuromancer is more of a quasi-virtual reality that involves every aspect of the human existence. One can enter cyberspace and actually merge their being with another. For example, one time Case and Molly entered cyberspace, and Case actually merged his physical being with hers, being able to see through her eyes, but not control any of her movements.
