I think we’re off to a great start with Neuromancer. Please try to be patient with the strange world of objects, brand names, and the at-times jerky plot movements.
For Tuesday, please read pp. 40-118. This means all of Section II: The Shopping Expedition and the first two chapters of Section III: Midnight in the Rue Jules Verne.
As you read, please keep today’s frameworks/motifs in mind.
After you’ve read, please write a blog post of 250-350 words, discussing 2-3 passages that fall under one or perhaps a combination of frameworks/motifs. This will be a good exercise to build up to writing our next essay, so try to use it as a pre-writing that might come in handy when it comes time to write the real essay. You might pick passages of the framework that you are seeing very frequently, or a framework that is provocatively subtle, or one that simply interests you (if you’re a psych major, maybe the psychological aspects, a bio/biostats person the human/machine interfaces or the profiles, a computer scientist the way Gibson’s tech imaginings do and/or do not match up with reality today).
