Advanced Network Segmentation Techniques

The matrix had its own logic. Corporate AIs ruled from the global web of data that was cyberspace. The construct was a kind of piloting program that let Case operate the deck with his mind. Night City was like a deranged experiment in social Darwinism, designed by a bored researcher who kept one thumb permanently on the fast-forward button.

He’d operated on an almost permanent adrenaline high, a byproduct of youth and proficiency, jacked into a custom cyberspace deck that projected his disembodied consciousness into the consensual hallucination that was the matrix. The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.

The towers that rose beyond the port’s rim gleamed like vertical miles of polished steel. His ugliness was the stuff of legend. In the bars he’d frequented as a cowboy hotshot, the elite stance involved a certain relaxed contempt for the flesh. The future is already here—it’s just not evenly distributed.

Case was twenty-four. The Sprawl was a vast infomercial. All the speed he took, all the turns he’d taken and the corners he’d cut in Night City, and still he’d see the matrix in his sleep, bright lattices of logic unfolding across that colorless void.
