Memory Wire

'''Wilson, Robert Charles. Memory Wire.''' Toronto: Bantam, 1987.

See for cyberpunk (postmodern, "funky") setting and titular "memory wire," which makes one a living video camera. Suggests that a societal machine which treats people as parts not wholes creates pitiable creatures whose struggles only accelerate the process of social decay. Rev. Janice M. Eisen, Aboriginal S. F. March-April 1988: 22, source for this entry. The human-camera motif is expanded to the other senses in W. Gibson's Neuromancer series and is central to D. G. Compton's The Continuous Katherine Mortenhoe (see both under Fiction).
