For those of you who are unaware of what an antihero is, it is someone who would not normally be considered ‘hero material’. The scrawny, washed-up, drug addicted, suicidal cyberhacker that goes by Case is not somebody that you would think would be the focal point of a novel. Case who had not entered cyberspace for over a year because he got caught stealing for his employers regains the ability after befriending Armitage. Throughout the novel Case is rekindled with his love of the matrix and at the end of the novel his life had flipped in almost everyway possible. Antiheros are becoming more and more popular in the ‘post-postmodern’ era because the character can be easily relatable to a large audience in today’s society especially in the 10-30 year old range.
