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.
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.
#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
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.
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.
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
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 Way out of date, but I was trying to help someone with it.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.
