Forty-two years for a screen version of the root of CyberPunk, and I’m skeptical anyway. Apple TV starts Neuromancer on January 22, 2027, ten episodes, with a teaser of neon cities, megacorps and a heist (High On Films). That’s the book’s skeleton and every knockoff’s. It’s a WIN if Case stays a burnt-out hacker cut off from cyberspace and the AI plot stays strange. It’s a FAIL if it turns into a leather-jacket shootout. I’d pay for one month of Apple in January to find out.
