engCollado Rodríguez, FranciscoThe female, the intertextual, and the transhuman in William Gibson’s Molly MillionsART-2021-124553Considered the great guru of cyberpunk, William Gibson is also the creator of one of the most representative female icons of the genre, Molly Millions. An aggressive co-star in one of Gibson’s early narratives, “Johnny Mnemonic” (1981) and in his first novel, Neuromancer (1984), Molly finds herself at an intertextual, postfeminist, and post/transhuman crossroads. She emerges as a dangerous and empowered cyborg; without her, the rather weak Johnny, the male lead in the first story in which Molly appears, would have died. However, her condition makes her much more than a bodyguard. Through her role, Gibson also shows the hyperreal predictions of a dystopian world whose strongly naturalist context does not seem to offer this prototypical cyberpunk woman any outlet but a transhumanity for which she needs to update constantly her physical enhancements, inexorably related to her necessarily violent survival.2021http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/107421http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/107421oai:zaguan.unizar.es:107421info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/H03-17Rinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2019-106855GB-I00Hélice 7, 1 (2021), 23-36by-nc-ndhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
