Context[edit]

could someone please fill in when and where the story first appeared? (clem 17:25, 7 May 2005 (UTC))[reply]

Title[edit]

Why isn't this article just simply titled Johnny Mnemonic? the (short story) tail doesn't need to be there. ArdClose (talk) 20:33, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No reason, well spotted. Why didn't you just move it? ;) the skomorokh 13:20, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Plot Summary[edit]

Why is the plot so different than what I watched recently on Netflix? It seems to be the same movie... ZirePhoenix (talk) 17:54, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Gigabytes[edit]

The data capacities referenced in the novel and movie are obviously quickly becoming obsolete. The 80Gb storage in Johnny's head is pretty paltry these days. Even the 320Gb information overload in the story's year 2021 is relatively small compared to today's 4Tb hard drives.

References[edit]

Sadly the link in the first reference fails with the Internet Archive reporting that, "This item is no longer available.
