Interesting post! I really like the idea that throughout the novel, Case searches for some sort of “prosthetic” in order to feel whole, and I agree with you that he can ultimately only achieve this within himself by dividing his consciousness. I also think it’s interesting to note that before the novel starts, he also relied on drugs as a prosthetic it seems. I also agree that Molly is extremely important in Case’s journey toward becoming (or attempting to become) a unified whole. This is somewhat unrelated to your post, but I found it really interesting to read the scenes between Molly and Case in conjunction with Haraway’s “Cyborg Manifesto” and Jackson’s article “Stitch bitch.” A lot of th language is mimicked, and I think it’s interesting to talk about Molly in relation to Haraway’s “cyborg” and Jackson’s ideal reader/author as well.
