The reviewer, fascinated by AI's impact on humanity, has been exploring the concept of a cyberpunk world, where technology is deeply ingrained in daily life. After considering Ivan Illich's critiques of technology, they found their own behavior contradictory, as they continued to rely heavily on AI. Seeking alternative perspectives, they turned to 80s cyberpunk authors, specifically William Gibson, whose futuristic projections in "Neuromancer" offer a contrasting view to Illich's historical approach, allowing the reviewer to re-examine their thoughts on the intersection of technology and humanity.
