Thoughts about the book "Neuromancer".

This is the tale of the ultimate net addiction.The classic book n the cyberpunk sector is the book "Neuromancer", what is handling the thing, what is called the hybridization of the human and Internet. In the book, the heroes would travel in the expanding virtual reality by using the brain core stimulation. This book is the tale of many things and one of them is the ultimate version of net addiction.

What would you think, if your passion centers in the brains would be stimulated for years by using electric stimulation? And that experience is connected with the feelings, that you can fly like a Peter Pan or some kind of superman. or you will be free from the limits of natural laws and select the creature that you want. You can be a man or woman or even a cat or some bird, whatever you want.  Everything happens in virtual reality, what you feel like reality. So that kind of thing would open the new level of the net addiction.

This kind of system is extremely dangerous in the wrong hands, and this is the thing, that we must realize when we are creating technology, which allows the embedding of the human mind and computer.   That thing would cause extreme addiction. The thing in that book is that the person cannot even realize when being in the virtual reality called "the matrix".

Sometimes when I read this kind of stuff, I wonder, how those fictional heroes could even realize, that they are awake or what is the border between the virtual and real reality? Sometimes, when I think about this kind of thing, I remember the example case, where the child says that " I saw a dream, that I saw a dream".

I have permission to use that example because I was that child. And I wondered how many layers the dream can have? Can we have multiple internal layers of awareness? If we are thinking the matrix as the multiple layers of the virtual spaces, what is communicating with human brains, we can think also a very interesting thing, to use the matrix as the dangerous tool.

Of course, the matrix is dangerous for its users, because they can just sit or lay at the room, and if they do not realize that they are in virtual reality, they can just die because they don't realize that they must eat or drink. This kind of thing makes this thing more dangerous than people ever thought. If we are thinking the matrix as the mixture of dream and virtual reality we can say one thing.

That thing that can be called a virtual dream would allow us to transfer any memory of the other person to their memory. So in the world of Cyberpunk, that thing would be used as entertainment. But what if we can create a computer, what can be controlled by using brain waves, and then we would go to the Internet for the little virtual trip,.what would we do?

By using virtual reality, we could see things, than we ever thought. If we can navigate the Internet by using our brainwaves and copy the experiences of other people, we can feel total freedom. We can get some experiences from another gender, and that thing might feel interesting. But we can also hack databases and other things more effective.

So in those cases, we can face very dangerous thing, and that thing is that the protective systems can send the killing electric shock to the socket if the unauthorized use is detected. But by using this kind of system, what is connecting the entire humanity to the Internet, we could make the ultimate tool, or ultimate enemy, the decision is the people, who are making this kind of thing.
