Cyborg Theory

[replicarter.livejournal.com]

Dear class. I apologize for my absence. The brethren have called me into the field and I am tactically doing away with a little annoyance of ours. His name is Thor, btw. HAHAHHAHAHAH. Please take a copy of the reading Johnny Mnemonic by William Gibson. This short story – made into a deliciously terrible film staring the illustrious Keanu Reeves – is actually quite good and is a morality tale about the dangers of mixing the human brain with cyborg components. It also has a skeeeerrryass dolphin. And the best female character ever written. OMG PROTO-TRINITY HOW I WORSHIP YOU.

Also, I must note if you enjoy the story, the conclusion is in Gibson’s novel Neuromancer.

Anyway. I must be off.

xoxo

Sam chuckled, somewhat unwillingly. "It's the call to the General part on an unsecured cell phone that's a little disturbing."

"Oh. Well, yeah. But every good godson should report in call godfather General Hank to tell him when crazy fembot ladies are gonna kill one of his friends. I.. really don't know what I'm saying." He offered a colorful packet of candy. "Skittle?"

"Thanks," she said, putting her hand out.

Kawalsky dished out some Skittles. "So.. you got a minute to talk? I was talking to John Connor last week and he kinda came out with some pretty heavy stuff. Said he told you too."

"Sure," she shrugged, eating the purple ones first, "Seeing how class is cancelled anyway. I don't want to do it in the hall, though, if that's okay? God forbid any of this end up on the radio."

"No, probably not a good idea to get this on the radio. Well, not unless we want panic and chaos and.. not good stuff."

Sam shook her head. "No. Definitely not. I didn't take it well, and I'm used to bad stuff. I think my room should be free, or we could go to yours, or I guess we could take a walk or something."

"Let's go for a walk. Less chance of someone overhearing us."
