RE: The Future of Human Identity

that's him.
I've read Burning Chrome, Virtual Light, Idoru, Pattern Recognition, and Neuromancer. He's a heavy read... this isn't some easy summer beach fare. It makes you think about the nature of thought, intelligence, and what it is to be human v. artificial intelligence.

    Sounds like either a guy 'in the know' or had some great intuition and foresight.

        Burning Chrome is a collection of his short stories. Depends on your lifestyle... if this is easier to get into with real life time limits... or:
        Most people would say, Neuromancer is the place to start.
        While I am not most people, I'll go out on a limb and agree with them.
