Fun rabbit hole I just went down: The book was an inspiration to the Shadowrun TTRPG (Strong's Character name was the tip off).
- You're in the cyberpunk sub but you'd never heard of Neuromancer before?!`
  
  I'm just coming off of All, not subscribed here. Just loosely interested. I'll probably have to check out the book now that I've learned about it.
- Oh yeah. They used the name Jake Armitage for the main character in Shadowrun for the SNES. I love that game! I’ve never actually played the TTRPG.
  Closest I’ve gotten was the Sega Genesis version. It’s a totally different game from the SNES game and much more faithful to the TTRPG, albeit with far less dialogue and character development which I noticed.
  I believe Armitage was a mononym in the book. It’s been a really long time since I read Neuromancer. I should ask my friend since he said he was going to read it a year ago.

I wonder in they are going to update some of the tech stuff. Doesn't his friend get killed over 4megs of stolen RAM in the beginning of the book.
