Case's curiosity is what drives a lot of the plot at the start of the novel. With so many things unexplained to the reader, Case's suspicion of Armitage and his investigation to find out about him gives readers a lot of information about the world the novel is set in. It is only from Case's curiosity that we learn the actual implications of an all powerful AI, and it more clearly sets up the direction of the novel - now it is clearer what Case is working towards and actually how high the stakes are becoming.

Case is mainly driven by self-interest. His biggest motivation is being able to keep the ability to jack in and out of the matrix. He does this despite being kept in the dark and even continues after knowing the harm Wintermute will cause. However, there are also moments where it seems like some of his actions are driven by his feelings towards other characters in the novel.

With his love interest he occasionally puts his feelings for them above his self interest. When given the choice between leaving the mission without risk of the neurotoxin or continuing the mission which would jeopardise his life, he chooses to continue for Molly (PAGE NUM?). In this moment, he puts his values of self-interest below his love/loyalty for Molly since he want to help her. Similarly with Linda he gives her his $50, despite the fact that he needs the money to pay back his debts (page 11). These are rare moments which Case acts selflessly in order to help the people he loves/has feelings towards.

Because of the Neurotoxin in Case's body, he is unable to jack into the matrix. Since his whole life was in the matrix (his career being a hacker), Case feels that being unable to jack in has made his life meaningless and is thus uncaring towards anything in the real world.
Because all his power is in the matrix, not being able to jack in has made him lose all of his power, making him helpless in the real world with a dying body. As a result, when Armitage takes out the neurotoxins in his body but still threatens to put them back in his system, he has power over Case. With Case finally able to return to Cyberspace, he is helpless since he is unable to fight against Armitage at the risk of losing access to the matrix again.

Being outside of the matrix, Case has very few feelings about most things. When he could not find any treatment to fix his nervous system, he is okay with wasting away until he dies. When major events occur, he shows little emotion. For example, when he thinks about his maiming in Memphis he only feels "a kind of bafflement" and when he thinks of Linda dying, he feels a "slack sickness and loathing" (PAGE NUM?). He only seems to show fear when his immediate life is at stake, showing how the lack of being able to jack into the Matrix has made him apathetic towards his life in the real world. However, it seems that being outside of the matrix, he has very little care for himself/his body. This may be one of the reasons why he keeps drinking/taking drugs even though it damages his body further which links to his attitudes towards his addictions.
