Apple is turning William Gibson’s Neuromancer into a TV series
Brought to you by the real life version of the Hosaka corp.
Apple is turning William Gibson’s Neuromancer into
a TV seriesnon-fiction.
One of two things will happen.
The show runners will stay true to the source material and a bunch of people will complain that it isn’t original and Cyberpunk 2077/Bladerunner/[insert franchise here] did it first. Completely unaware that Neuromancer did it first.
Or
The show runners will use Neuromancer as “inspiration” and write their own story, to better (Foundation) or worse (Ring of Power) results. Either way, fans of the original work will complain that the show isn’t faithful to the source.
tl;dr: No matter what they do, someone will be vocally upset
Sweet! Prolly should read it…
You should! I found the dialog hard to follow at times as it’s not always clear who is speaking but I still found the book to live up to the hype.
It’s a good read. I have aphantasia and really struggle with reading non fiction. I was able to read, and enjoy, this in a couple of sittings.
Im not optimistic. They already canceled the peripheral.
Isn’t that Amazon production?
Who did? Apple? How did they do that?
Also, I am pretty sure the two strikes that happened last year are a major factor in the cancellation there. It’s unfortunate.
The writing on that show was a bit of a mess
