Prompt 9

In this blog, I want you to talk about the bodies in the text. What, for you, in the most interesting and/or provocative body presented in Neuromancer? Why do you find this body intriguing? How does it compare with the bodies we've encountered in class thus far? Finally, and perhaps most importantly, what argument does it make about the body and its relationship to technology? Is it a positive and/or productive relationship? Is it one of fear and rejection? How does technology extend or limit the body or the corporeal experience? Does technology liberate characters from the restrictions of the flesh? Does it discover new ways to experience the body? Be specific in your evidence - what technologies? how do they affect the body?
