who's rei toei?
for those who aren't involved in cyberpunk fiction, rei toei is one of the most interesting characters of william gibson's bridge trilogy works (virtual light, idoru, all tomorrow's parties). she is an idoru: an ai, a simulation of a person that neither really exists nor has ever existed in the real world, "an emergent system, a self being continually iterated from experiential input".
singularly, she evolves to become more devoted to feeling than to knowing and - with this human-like consciousness - she begins pursuing freedom from her programmers and agents and adjusts her way of life accordingly to make it a possible goal.
who's behind rei toei?
my real name is giulia (that is "julia" in most languages), and i'm considered to be a sort of
eccentric-somehow-schizoid-but-sociable human, but while i like sharing ideas with other people, i'm mostly self-relying.
i'm a graphic designer and i love my job so much that at least a couple of friends think i'm a workaholic but in fact my only addiction is tea: give me a box of green/orange/black/vanilla/whatever tea and you'll see one of the happiest grinning people of the world. (btw, i've picked up the last typhoo tea bag right now... *sigh*)
as stated before, i don't have much spare time and i usually spend it reading magazines/comics/books/whatever (the 'to be continued' queue is getting longer and longer, lately) or watching movies (preferably action movies), when i'm not having long walks/dinners/chats with my friends, of course.
music has always been my true companion and i listen to all kinds from classical to the recently re-discovered metal i had put away when i was 19. i can't say i have a fav artist but that i somewhat like selected songs by selected artists, which means i'm nobody's fan and probably i will ever be.
now, it's getting late and i'm a bit tired, so... for further information just ask me: i might answer
/me wishing you all goodnight
