 ### Influences
+
+This book remained me of some other works. The way history has a physicality
+in layers of _gomi_ is similar to how the weight of history is represented by
+the pale in {{ disco_elysium }}, although the pale erases while _gomi_ builds.
+The Aleph is like an inversion of {{ the_matrix }}, it the entire world
+vitalized, but for Case it is an escape instead of the prison it is for Neo.
+The way the combined Neuromancer+Wintermute AI woke up and then immediately
+discovered there is another matrix is like Colossus waking up an discovering
+the Soviet AI Guardian in {{ colossus }} (based on {{ joness_lastname }} {{
+colossus_book }}). 3Janes scheme executing autonomously after her death is
+like the self-directed corporations from {{ strosss_lastname }} {{ accelerando
+}}. The Gentleman Loser bar where hackers hangout reminds me of the Black Sun
+in {{ stephensons_lastname }} {{ snow_crash }}. Angela's mind containing two
+personalities is like Susan Bates with her three personalities in {{
+wattss_lastname }} {{ blindsight }}. The modular buildings where Mona gets her
+surgery are like the stacks in {{ clines_lastname }} {{ ready_player_one }}.
+The jive handsigns are similar to the pronoun waves in {{ an_alexs_lastname }}
+{{ a_mote_in_shadow }}.
