Review By Chongchen Saelee

“Neuromancer” is the chosen template for modern sci-fi stories since it’s publication. It seems every modern sci-fi story from The Matrix, Ghost in the Shell, Akira, etc, all borrow heavily from Neuromancer. If not the exact storyline, they borrow the speculative Asian culture imagery. But masquerading around as a futuristic caper story, Neuromancer is actually more like a crime noir story, since main plot device involves protagonist Henry Dorsett Case’s lost love Linda Lee. It bookends the whole story, although executed kinda sloppily.

Overall plot revolves around “cowboy” or what we call these days “hacker” Henry Dorsett Case, a 24-year-old thin druggy white guy. He lives a dangerous lifestyle in a dangerous futuristic world that resembles modern Tokyo. Case makes a living hacking into computer systems and otherwise cyber espionage. He spends that money on drugs and prostitutes. Of course future drugs don’t just come in the form of chemical substances, for those with man-machine interface built into their heads, they can get high off of “microsoft” which is essentially programs that scramble their brains temporarily. Mind-blowing, right? (more…)

Everything the woman says is true. But it doesn’t just apply to blacks. It applies to all who don’t except responsibility for their own ignorance.

Everything in life you must EARN.

Pay close attention to the part about black rappers, the good ones, actually being incredibly educated, otherwise how would they know how to write such awesome metaphors and lyrics? Yet, every other inbred wannabe thinks they have the same skill and you can see them on YouTube.

Moral of the story: you aren’t all that unless you’re really all that. When you’re really all that, you won’t even have to try. You won’t even have to impress anyone.

I want to start a new gag called “All-Knowing Eastfist” where I predict the future or come up with a new idea for future technologies. In this edition, I propose a technology called “skin batteries”. Much like solar cells and existing batteries, skin batteries would store the energy in a container. (more…)

Hypocrisy and the forked-tongue of American propaganda. (more…)
