Man, I loved Neuromancer when I read it as a kid. Yes, it's a tough book to read, especially today where there are too many distractions as well as too many works of art built on the sci-fi ideas of that era.

Neuromancer is the first installment of the Sprawl trilogy, followed by Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive.

So trying not to spoil too much: Count Zero asks questions about / describes how AI could have influence over religious/spiritual life of humans.

Will we see AI preachers having a real influence on human religious life? ChatGPT the prophet? Maybe this is the real danger of today's nascent AI tech?

There are already dozens of AI Jesus influencers. Seems like it will get worse before it gets better
