Johnny Cyberpunk

well this story was really confusing and I didn't quiet get the whole meaning of, but I get the Cyberpunk part of. Just to recap what cyberpunk is, Cyberpunk is a sub genre of science fiction stories, set around the near future and whats ahead of us, and is mainly focuses on the high tech low life. It plays on reality, and makes the reader wonder of what advances are yet to come in technology and even human beliefs, for example drugs. What I got out of the story is that Johnny is a very smart and clever man, who has megabytes of data stored in him, and he is holding a whole bunch of information in him that made not be too safe. Ralfi, the man the instilled this data in him, is trying to set up a contract with him, (yet e he is setting up for him to be killed) allowing him to get the data instilled in Johnny.  Johnny then meets a woman named Molly, who seems kind of edgy, and decides to help Johnny escape from this "contract deal." Ralfi hires an assassin to kill Johnny with this thing called a squid, ( i don't really get that part?) and now Johnny realizes what kind of people he is dealing with and decides to stick with Molly.  ***this story was really long and confusing so i just skimmed through to the end and tried to piece it together. So Im not sure if this is completely right*** It turns out the assassins go against Ralfi and kill him instead, and Johnny doesn't want to deal with it anymore so he tells molly to use the squid to remove the data from his head.....and yeah there you go :) hehe
