Nice one Alex. I do remember reading *Neuromancer* as a kid; that novel is pretty bad ass... It paints a picture of a kind of bleak, gritty future.

The point about emotional support from a machine makes me think of *Her*... Of course, that isn't in the cyberpunk style, but it does raise some interesting questions about how we relate to computers - questions which we might have to ask in our own lives in the next 10-20 years.
