Following Ordersįor a long time, neither Molly or Case know the true intentions and plans of Armitage and all they can do for now is follow orders. Case doesn’t even ask what he has to do and immediately accepts knowing that he has finally gotten a second chance in life. This person offers Case a cure for his unfortunate condition in exchange for his brilliant hacking services. Things were looking like they could end at any moment for Case until he was saved by a character called Molly Millions, a trainer warrior and street samurai working for an ex-military officer named Armitage. He has become depressed and suicidal, with no job and being the number one target on the hitlist of a dangerous drug lord called Wage. That’s not even all of the bad things that we can list about Henry Case in this book review of Sprawl Trilogy. This unfortunate event has left Case unable to access something called the matrix, a form of cyberspace located in the global computer network that contained so much knowledge about almost everything. A lot of that was taken away from him by a few people seeking vengeance so they damaged a lot of his nervous system with a mycotoxin. Henry is not without skill however as before he resorted to this, he was the sharpest data thief in the business.
He has seen better days than now as he has resorted to be a low-level hustler in an underworld city in Japan, called Chiba, a dystopian place that is harsh to many and deadly to the weak. The main character who you get to read about in Neuromancer is a guy called Henry Dorsett Case. The characters and the events that you get to read about throughout the series are all happening in a span of 16 years so a lot goes on in that time period. The time period in the book is in a near future, one which has just witnessed World War III. There are characters that you get to meet in this novel that appear again in the sequels but all of the books can still be read as a single story as the plots inside are pretty self-contained. William Gibson’s story begins with the first book, called Neuromancer.
