at the singularity. My friend also. We just argue about the details. Like whether the robots will keep us like pets or do away with us altogether. We both saw the movie, "Her" and were surprised at the ending. If you haven't seen it, I wont spoil it and recommend you see it. But warn that I may discuss the ending in this thread.

"Neuromancer" reminded me (or visa versa) of "Blade Runner."
