In a book that was filled with technical vocabulary and a storyline that had to be followed closely because of it’s complexity. It was refreshing that the book finished with such a simple generic back and forth between Case and Wintermute to put an end to the novel.
“So what's the score? How are things different? You running the world now? You God?'
“Things aren't different. Things are things.” (270)

| Indeed, Things are Things |
In the quote Case is resting in bed while Wintermute showed up on a projection screen. Wintermute merged with Neuromancer and become the Matrix. Case was unaware of what this meant for the world. Wintermute (the AI) answers things are things, which is insinuating that everything is the same as what it was before Wintermute became the matrix.
