"Case was twenty-four. At twenty-two, he'd been a cowboy, a rustler, one of the best in the Sprawl...jacked into a custom cyberspace deck that projected his disembodied consciousness into the consensual hallucination that was the matrix."

People love their toys. These toys are getting more personalized by the day. They link people to their family, friends, favorite teams, their bank accounts which in turn link them to global financial markets. Further, the interface from the people to the toys is becoming more and more fluid and permeable. In a fairly momentous step, medical researchers are building neural interfaces, circuits which communicate the power of thought to mechanical limbs, organs, and who knows what next.
