A hacker and an assassin are thrust into a web of high-stakes crime as they take aim at a corporate dynasty.
By making the world and characters super-cool and attractive they already missed the point completely. This looks horrible.
been waiting decades for this hope they don’t mess it up
Based on the many great sci-fi shows we’ve gotten from Apple TV I feel it’ll at least be ok and worth a watch. If I was forced to pay for one subscription for shows it’d absolutely be Apple TV (I pay for none 🏴☠️).
Gibson must have run out of watch money.

Bit rude!
I hope they keep all the howlers, like when the space pilot doesn’t know what a computer virus is.
“Creators”?
Showrunners get distinct “creator” credits for TV series that have been adapted from previous works, with distinct “based on ____ by ____” credits for the source material.
I’m not a huge fan of the wording either, but I’m trying to stick with industry standard nomenclature until I figure out something better.
Shame no Chris Cunningham.
We are already living in a cyberpunk dystopia, I’m over cyberpunk media
Hopefully it’s only loosely based on the source material. Ironically, Neuromancer is among the worst books in the genre it invented.
Somebody’s lookin to get flatlined.
Read the book decades ago and enjoyed it. Why do you say it’s terrible?
The story has almost zero action, the characters are insipid and undeveloped, and the prose is wholly unremarkable. I think Neuromancer is popular because it’s popular, which is not uncommon.
The prose is one of the best parts imo. The main character has had his mind and body modified and drugged to the point of constantly being confused. The chaotic writing helped put the reader in that headspace.
That, and the lack of almost any exposition (except for the “kids show” scene, which was a brilliant trick).
What do you think about the cyberpunk genre?
Edit: went through your comment history, and you seem to have a pattern of shit takes. At least you’re consistent.
I like cyberpunk. Electric Angel is decent. So is Thin Air by Richard K. Morgan.
