    I think Riviera's power of illusion is quite useless unless he's peforming a magic show or scaring the daylights out of someone. Other than that, once people get used to his magic, it doesn't work that well anymore.

     

    I think you are probably right, except that he can use it as a weapon, witness what he does to Hideo near the end.

    I just can't find my copy of Neuromancer right now, but I remember thinking of Hideo in a slightly different light. He's a made-to-order ninja, charged with protecting someone. Call him a total psycho or mr. Cool 12, but he's the one hurting himself. Being bombarded with illusions is a distraction, so he rips out his own eyes. Then he goes after the illusionist. ph34r.gif

     

    Well, that's how I understood that part of the book.
