Theories... (Score 1)

I personnely liked this book the most out of the Virtual Light series. I love Gibsons writing style, he seems to have the ability to explain everything in excutiating detail yet still allow your imagination to run wild. After reading the Sprawl series numerous times, and even going as far as reading a complete dissection of Neuromancer I found on the web as to get as much out of it as possible, I am left with a question after ATP's. Laney mentioned the change before, the one that had begun with Currie dying, I am wondering what people thought that might be. Theirs a weird moment in the book where Fontaine is examining an old watch which has the last year of repair as 1945 and there is mention of radiation burns (be it from the radium in the paint or somewhere else). This leaves me to believe Gibson to be hinting at the the creation of the Atomic Bomb as the last change. Any other theories? It really would make sense, I mean, after 1945 look what began... Cold War, Space Race, Supercomputers, changed everything completely. Flintoft
