William Gibson's Neuromancer is a complex story about future computer technology and its impact on the lives of the world's citizens. There are themes of love, betrayal, trust, and forbidden knowledge in each of the book's plots. These storylines lend a human quality to a world depicted as controlled by computers and technology. Furthermore, throughout the book, Gibson introduces the ethical and moral values ​​of the debate on the costs that humanity must bear as technology advances. In the early 1900s, when Henry Ford first used the automatic conveyor belt, he did so at the cost of hiring labor to do the job. The use of the conveyor belt, however, redefined the factory assembly line. As in the previous example, technology comes with the advancement of a culture, but with these advancements comes the decline of some parts of the human aspect of the previous way of life. Sometimes this progress is positive and helps the next generation do more for their culture and the world, but there are advances that degrade humanity and cause more harm than good for the rest of society. Gibson takes this debate and brings it into the modern era with the creation of the Internet and the World Wide Web in the late 1980s. Case and the other characters were faced with the underlying plot: whether what they were doing for Wintermute was the right thing to do and how it would affect the rest of society. The underlying tension throughout the novel is the fear of who you trust and who will betray me next. At the beginning of the novel Case is trying to understand why a drug lord is after him and what he will do with him. Case received a shipment of drugs from Wage, the drug lord, and did not pay Wage for the drugs. He goes to one of his friends, Julius Deane, to figure out what to do and what Wage is trying to do to Case, and later in the novel Deane becomes a leader in the mission to sabotage Tessier-Ashpool. There is an incident between Case and Jules as the story develops where Jules has been taken by Wintermute and reveals to Case that he actually killed Linda Lee, Case's love..
