Just as I was about to back out of this book as something that wasn't my type of read, Gibson comes up with an operation for Case and a sex scene that somehow grounds it back into the reality of human feeling. Did he realize that, aside from sci fi fans, this world was a bit too seemy, too alien for the reader?
And despite body parts that are for sale and the software that can fix them, sex appears to be fairly normal. Of course, until Case touches Molly's face and gets too near her embedded glasses that serve as eyes:
"Don't," she said, "finger prints." (p. 33)
