Neuromancer Part 2 Close Reading

Chapter 4

The part where Case rides on Molly's consciousness

Rider:

Foreignness of Molly's body: Case cannot control Molly's body, "passivity", "he began to find the passivity of the situation irritating", embodiment of seeing the same thing. Molly's seeing things that Case usually don't see or recognize. They inhabit their body differently. The helplessness, "other flesh"

Memory Lane: Literalization of the concept- act of elicit activities, aspect of past
                            "the link was one way"


p.63
Case's occupancy of cyberspace
"limitless gulfs of nothingness"- ageographical aspect, there's no physical space that it has but its command still have it existed
non-space of matrix
unlimited subjective dimension- the space is whatever you wanted it to be
