Like the hardware, humans are not customizable therefore, the perceived difference between Chrome and tech-savvy criminals is the level of software intelligence they possess. The tech-savvy Jack and Bobby were able to bring down Chrome due to his technological ignorance.

The modern world is a world of computer technology, and anybody who is not tech-savvy will not survive. In the book, Jack and Bobby changed their interpretation of the word due to knowledge of the technology. Gibson eludes the human anatomy to the hardware that changes its ability to interpret the world. When a new program is installed in hardware, it changes the experience from the hardware. Hardware may get obsolete with time due to technological advancement. Even though hardware is permanent, the software can easily be altered to meet the needs of the user. The hardware is the physical aspect of a computer or telecommunication, while software is the programs that facilitate the computer’s commands in instructing the machine to process information. Role of Distinction between Software and Hardware and Their Customizability The central claim in this essay holds that “In William Gibson’s world, there is a clear distinction between software and hardware and that both are crucial and customizable.” The paper adopts a critical writing approach to highlight the role the distinction of software against hardware plays in conveying the central theme and developing the plot. The book addresses the importance of both hardware and software in developing the plot and how they differ. Gibson compares human anatomy with the evolving technology, which is customizable to fit every human character.
