I'm lost on a few things, I just finished the book

1) What was the JOB
2) Why did case take the Kuang software into the "dive", at
the end
3) What is Tessier-Ashpool
4) Why did W/M and N/M merge, did they merge when Case
"dove" using the Kuang software?
5) What was "the code", why did they need it, and what did
3Jane have to do with anything? What was 3Jane?

those aspects of the story belong to william gibson, i'd
say. unless it was an open-source novel. however, i
usually consume cultural artifacts auteur-theoristically,
and so, i'd prefer to know gibson's ideas than some
fanboys'.

i read this book very lazily over the course of several
years... often picking up in the middle without going back
and getting familiar with everything again.. and still i
know all of these answers. your brain must be like a holed
thing.

no i can't give them to you right now

but tomorrow maybe i can.

here's one for now:

tessier-ashpool is like a big family that's also a company,
and it spans generations. its mostly all clones of an
original family. they have their hands in a little bit of
everything in the world; you'll see the logo everywhere.
