Technoculture

Technoculture is a very different genre for me. I thought that it would be somewhat easy to understand since we are in the era of technology, but I was wrong. While watching the Matrix, I found myself bouncing back and forth from reality to what the movie was trying to present. It was hard to wrap my mind around the concepts and ideas that was shown in the movie, but it did get me thinking. Is that really what we are? Just batteries charging the world? I hope not, but it does make you think about your life and what you have done so far. I believe that once I continue on reading Neuromancer, technoculture may be easier to understand.
