I’m cautiously optimistic. Apple has actually done a solid job with their Sci-Fi shows. Silo is a banger.
Just re-read Neuromancer last month for the first time in ~12 years. Was able to follow it WAY better than when I was younger. Absolutely an amazing book.

It’s filming and Neuromancer sub has had some behind the scenes stuff posted.

Apple TV kinda dosent ever look that bad, this worst case scenario would be like a 5/10. But I do think that its gonna be great with their track record

They already made Peripheral into a show, really liked it actually. Only after watching it did I realise it’s a book from Gibson as well. Current goal is to finish Neuromancer before the Apple TV show comes out

I’ll watch it. Neuromancer adaptations have been vapourware forever.

I read that the Wachowskis not getting the rights to this years ago is basically why they wrote the Matrix

I’m reading that book right now! It’s excellent

AppleTV+ gives this a shot to be good 🤞🏽

Just finished it, great book. I hope they do it justice. With how Severance turned out to be, I have high hopes for Apple TV

I put more faith in AppleTV over Amazon, if Amazon had it theyd fuck it up for sure.

Hopefully they adapt it better than murderbot. not that murderbot is a bad show it’s just not a good adaptation of the source material

gibson is notoriously tricky to adpt nd Nuero is so esoteric i dont know howll theyll pull it of but i hope they can cause we need some good gibson adaptations

Apple has been making bangers. If this is true, it will be amazing.

Na I gonna read it instead. Can’t do the same mistake as for The Expense, The Silo, The Three Bodies Problem and Altered Carbon.

The one thing that makes me excited about this is that it’s the same production designer that did Andor.
So at least some of it is going to *look* great.
I personally am of the mind that no adaptation of Neuromancer can top what goes on in my head while reading it.

Netflix’s f@cked Electric state, can’t wait to see this dog water. I’m just disappointed with how some of my favorite genres have been treated, I know it’s Apple TV but I have little hope
Proton_Optimal
Better than Netflix or Amazon getting it
Triggerz777
I loved the book

So relieved that Apple are the ones behind it. Could actually be really good, and at the very least wont be aweful, which would be hard to say for most other platforms
Boglikeinit
At least it is apple and not netflix.

I want it to look as good as Peripheral looked and to do far better than Peripheral did.
