you know, i think a lot of folks are missing the boat, train, car, human teleporter, human transporter, coffin, sarcophagus, etc.... when it comes to what the ideas, particularly the ideas set forth in science fiction context, really illustrate. I do not think they are meant to be "invested" in in a totally "material" way. A lot of the things in Neuromancer and other works by Gibson and his peers, are obviously symbolic and sometimes, accurately speculative. The Internet is a "metaphor" as well as being an actual military tool adapted for Profit and Human Interest. This "technology" are just the training wheels for a future that we cannot even speculate about.....
