NEUROMANCER
I'm like 80 pages in and I'm kind of confused now. The MC is back in The Sprawl and him and the girl did some kind of op involving a terrorist cell creating a riot in some corporate HQ thru cyberspace. I dunno, the book was pretty cut and dry up to this point but I'm not exactly sure what the fuck just happened, can anyone that's read this explain what I just read to me pls

I've really been thinking about the ending lately and it made me appreciate how wrong my instincts are when it comes to literature, the desire for closure and comfort and conventionality really is the embodiment of mediocrity. I liked Case all this time as a character but never understood him because I was just enjoying the ride or something, I never gave it any real weight until it demanded more of me and I reacted like a stupid child. I feel sick at the thought of my pathetic self-inserting and inability to see the visionary. I also now really think highly of how creepy the implications of the ending are and instead of demanding nice neat answers see the grandness of the questions it creates instead Case is still Case but there's another Case too, is what I mean here.
Neuromancer thread?
