    They already fucked it up with the “Jonny Memotic” jack-in. In Neuromancer, it’s trodes and a headband to jack in. I still have high hopes this will be a quasi-semi-accurate series.

    History does not say this will happen. Gibson has been screwed often, as have others.

    However, Foundation, while a solid and great sci-fi series, absoulutly analy fucks the Asimov books. When you compare Foundation to the novels, it’s 100% shit! They could have done atompunk awesomeness! Instead, it’s an emperor that is the LEAST important character in the first book.

    If Neuromancer fucks the book, then fuck AppleTV and everyone involved.

    Do not get me started on how shitty and almost enjoyable “Peripherable” was on Amazon. That went so far off book it hurt.

      Oh man, Peripherable was maddening. It was doing great and then the assassin Bob showed up and the whole show just fucking fell off a cliff. It was so weird.

    Immediately more excited by this trailer than the Blade Runner 2099 one. Apple really killing it with sci-fi the past couple years.

        I pirate the entirety of the rest of my content, but keep an Apple TV subscription around just because I’ve liked probably around 90% of the shows and movies I’ve seen from them. There have only been a couple of shows that I’ve found boring.

        They have great stuff from other genres besides sci-fi too.
