Watching Lille construct his own digital image, Blais couldn't help feeling surprised in his heart.
Computational power is the cornerstone of activities in Cyberspace.
It's a comprehensive indicator, determined by factors such as a hacker's equipment, prosthetics, brain functions, and so on, which then constitute an individual's image in Cyberspace.
In Cyberspace, hackers face fewer restrictions, and although physical laws still apply here, they're not as direct.
Computational power builds programs, or images, which as extensions, influence everything in Cyberspace, affecting the real world.
You could be human, or a lamp god, or a Spider Queen, wielding a web of data fortifications...
You can become anyone you wish to be, provided your computational power is strong enough and your skills refined enough.
As for Lille... to the Network Supervision Committee, his skills were that of a decent street hacker, but his computational power...
Was immense.
