Underworld and Neuromancer?
There's something I've been wondering for a while.

Has anyone ever drawn comparisons between the song "Spoonman" and the novel Neuromancer? I'm almost thinking Underworld was inspired by it. This is just one of those stupid fan-theories, I suppose.

The thing that makes me think of this, is "Steppin' Razor," which Molly is referred to in the book.

"i'm the spoonman. talks to god. transfusion. penetration."

Could refer to Case, his relation to the AIs, and penetrating cyberspace.

"stainless steel tokyo"

Is quite obvious, since parts of Neuromancer take place in Japan.
