William Gibson

those two AIs unfold and our questions of AI ability to act on its own with human ethic and compassion. From the science fiction novel "Neuromancer" by William Gibson in 1984, the author digitalized the world in his book and told the story by the third point of view using Henry Dorsett Case. The case, a console cowboy, was able to jack into cyberspace using a port in his head. This is really the same as a hacker in the Internet world today. Apparently, Case lost his ability to hack into cyberspace after he made a mistake to his client. Also, this was the time of Wintermute, an AI system built by the Tessier-Ashpool company, started to manipulate him in its grand plan for the purpose of merging with another AI, the Neuromancer. Wintermute did all of those things on its own, even it is not a human. On the other hand, Neuromancer is against that idea and tried to stop Case doing his work. After all the exotic things happened, the two AIs got together and became a powerful force in the matrix world, leaving Case continues to live on in his loneliness. Firstly, it is a good start to define the term emotion and how major characters are built with that definition in Gibson book. The case, Molly, Armitage and Peter Riviera are real major characters. Meanwhile, Wintermute and Neuromancer are virtual major characters. William Gibson did a really good job in personalizing every real character but the AI. Emotion in "Neuromancer" was depicted strongly. Characters like Case and Molly…

born witness to partnerships and betrayals. It is in the public domain that the CEO downsized the partner’s shares, effectively knocking him out of the ‘controlling shareholders’ board, in an attempt to make the company more competitive. Although it was an effective strategy, it left the partner and friend in a precarious situation, no doubt feeling betrayed and left out. Such situations play out often in the ever growing world of technology and innovation as everyone seeks to be the next big…

“metabolism assiduously warped by a weekly fortune in serums and hormones” (12) to extend his years. The author’s use of word choice mirrors the complexity in the language to the intricacy of the technology used in the novel’s society. It can especially be comparable to the extent of science needed to stretch out Julius Deane’s life. Without the use of modern medicine he would not be able to exist, or be able to pursue his passion for clothing. He has a “devotion to esoteric forms of…

In a world where technological and scientific advances are realized daily, communication with people around the world is a common occurrence, and knowledge is becoming increasingly accessible, a wider window has opened for the individual to explore, discover, and/or create their ideal self. We see ourselves passing the times of idle wonder and theory of our past philosophers and intellects. The consequence, however, is that knowing yourself, as well as projecting and thereby sharing this self…

Beep. Beep. Beep. The alarm next to my bed sounded. Looking up, the clock read 6:00. Time to wake up. Time to save the world. I might not look like much. Average height, average build, and an unmemorable face. None of that matters in the Matrix though. In the Matrix, you can be anything. In the Matrix, I am the most elite hacker in the world. Hacking isn 't like what it used to be. Used to be AI sat there covered in their ice and all you had to do was run a program to break through without…

because no one in our family ever did. We may want to become a high-level athlete because we are inspired by our favorite athletes. Other examples of this include wanting to get a high paying job because we grew up in poverty and doing well in school so we can escape living in a bad neighborhood as well as coming back to that neighborhood when we are successful to show the children that it can be done and motivate them to achieve similar goals. Those are just a few of many examples of ways…

who is meant to be Chinese and Hawaii decent plus the casting of Caucasians as majority residents of Hawaii despite the fact that Hawaii consists of a 70% non-white population. The film was declared as box-office bomb mainly due to it misguiding casting choice, even the director of film Cameron Crowe issued an apology for it via his blog. As for the reverse I believe Mel Gibson film Apocalypto (2006), is a good example a film that features a casts of Indigenous Mexican and Native American…

tell the story about Christ’s death and resurrection. Then in 2004 Mel Gibson made his version of the movie and as I like to say brought it in to the 21st century with updated graphics, violence, and blood. The combination of images, faith, and history this film truly was like no other Passion of Christ movie ever done. The Passion of the Christ is a serious and deep piece of cinematography, it not just show us how much pain one man went through for us but it celebrates for the unbeliever the…

A vacation without a prior plan, a pilot without a map, or a family without a mission statement, leads to chaos rather than a destination. A sense of direction and a common purpose to work toward is what a vacation, pilot, and family need to function fully and vibrantly. A vacation without some sort of planning will result in wasting the vacation time because of undecided decisions that need to be made upon arrival. A pilot without a map becomes aimless flying; a family with no mission statement…

hard to read Hamlet. In the play, Hamlet seemed to be faking his madness for most of the interaction on stage, except for the scene in which he kisses Ophelia. This seemed very genuine, he takes a break from his “mad” rant, in which he constantly repeats “get thee to a nunnery.” He pauses and takes the time to show his love for Ophelia. This pause reveals to Ophelia there is sanity behind his madness, and that he is putting on a show. Because of the sudden break, the audience may be confused on…
