Neuromancer Show - Ready your seven-function force-feedback manipulators, cyberspace cowboys. The Sky Above The Port is the Color of Television - Apple Television, specifically! #cyberpunk#neuromancer
Back when social media was fun, a game we played was to write TV Guide-style summaries of terrible takes on movies that exist or terrible movies that should never exist. With the depressing news that Apple landed Neuromancer, I figured it was time to re-share this one that I wrote.
#Apple is turning William Gibson’s #Neuromancer into a TV series-The Verge
Another sci-fi adaptation is making its way to Apple TV Plus. The streamer announced that it’s adapting William Gibson’s seminal #cyberpunk novel Neuromancer into a 10-episode series. Graham Roland (Lost, Jack Ryan) will serve as showrunner, while JD Dillard (Utopia) will direct the first episode. #gibson#williamgibson#scifi
Ich warte schon ewig darauf dass den Stoff jemand als Serie umsetzt und ich bin froh dass es Apple macht. Da besteht eine große Chance dass es auch gut wird.
Oh, das hatte ich ja noch gar nicht mitbekommen. Der Roman #Neuromancer von William Gibson soll als TV-Serie verfilmt werden. Soll dann wohl exklusiv bei Apple TV verfügbar sein.
There's a couple of games from which I think they will be extra fun to play on a #SteamDeck. I'm looking forward to installing the old #Neuromancer at some point. For the time being, a little session of #Shadowrunner just feels pretty nice, too. #retrogaming#linux#turnbased
Among the many predictions in @GreatDismal 's #neuromancer I feel like there's one that's rarely talked about. His "Panther Moderns" are eerily similar to 4chan/Anonymous in most of the ways that matter.
Robert Pattinson has been offered the starring role in the TV adaptation of William Gibson's sci-fi novel #Neuromancer for #AppleTVPlus.
In the series, Case, a former data-thief, joins forces with Molly, a street-samurai, for a dangerous mission in a world where cyberspace and reality intertwine, testing their limits and perceptions of reality.
Rumors are flying that Apple will make William Gibson's 'Neuromancer' into a TV series. But who will star? And will this be the first great cyberpunk TV series?
One of the creepier tech-related incidents I remember was many years ago when I wanted the Sam's Photofacts (a third-party creator of device specs and schematics, etc.) for a very old portable TV. Way out of date, but I was trying to help someone with it.
I mentioned to a friend that I was looking for old Photofacts, but I did not say anything about the TV. He scribbled an address on a scrap of paper, an address locally here in L.A. "Try him," he muttered.
I drive over. It's a small unmarked storefront. I go in, the bell on the door rings. Sitting inside, like the caterpillar in "Alice in Wonderland", is this little guy perched on a stool, with immense stacks of paper surrounding him everywhere. Total mayhem.
I walk up to him -- knowing that this was a waste of time and really wanting to get out of there -- and asked if he had the Sam's Photofacts for that specific very old TV model.
Without saying a word, he reached over to the pile of papers right next to him, took the TOP item off the pile, and silently handed it to me. It was the ancient one I needed. Stunned, I paid him the amount marked on the item, and left with it, not completely sure what had just happened.
When I drove by there a month later that storefront was something else entirely. He was gone.
@ChrisMayLA6@bookstodon Yes, exactly. I cribbed from the excellent Jack Womack in his afterword to the reissue of #neuromancer that "the gold of imagination might be transmuted into silicon reality" (Womack. 2004) in my MA work.
Michael Abrash confirmed they were inspired by Snow Crash in /Masters of Doom/.
Everything I've seen in the intervening 15 years has confirmed the process. There's variance, to be sure.
