Neuromancer — In Production | Apple TV+

They're not invading anyone yet. :/

Corporations have been invading countries for centuries. Check out the British East India Company.

Evil corporations are not a new thing, it’s a bit disingenuous to suppose they would be any better than nation states.

This response is a non-sequitur and weirdly hostile.

The ensuing decades have seen some of what Gibson predicted start to come true a bit. It's reasonable to note areas he and the movement missed on (at least so far).

What I really want is When Gravity Fails, but only if it’s done well.

That would be AWESOME! One of my classic reads. (the cover on the wiki page is so bad, I want to vomit. The original Bantam was far superior.)

So, are we not allowed to be critical of the prophet Gibson?

I guess I'd better get off my butt and read this finally.

I bought it with a handful of other cyberpunk foundational books a few years back, got to read the others but not Neuromancer. I guess I'll have to join.

What I really want is When Gravity Fails, but only if it’s done well. At the moment, I’m drooling over the possibilities for Straylight.

Seeing Marid Audran walk the Budayeen on screen would be amazing.

The Sprawl Trilogy absolutely holds up; I just re-read last summer and Gibson's themes are prescient. Plus, he's a gorgeous writer.

I'm intrigued that the tiny teaser for this series shows them going with a retro-80s version of the future.
