I recently found the book at a used book store and I’ve heard good things. Of course they said it will have a “modern twist” and I hate to make assumptions but seeing the showrunner I have no doubt it will be like every other modern adaptation.
Also heard a rumor that an Elric adaptation is in the works, and I’d be shocked if Netflix respects the Narnia source material.
On the bright side, whenever I see that a book or comic is being adapted and the story sounds interesting I just get the source material because an actual adaptation is low on the list of Hollywood priorities
Lets be honest, the best part of the genre is the cool Bladerunner* aesthetics, so the only way to do cyberpunk is to make it retro. It would essentially have to be some sort of sci-fi fantasy with clunky tech. A “modern twist” does not bode well. If I see another damned flat sinny holo-display aesthetic, I'll puke, I'm afraid to say. I don't think folks who use iPads on the daily could ever really write or produce the visuals for cyberpunk.
*Gibson apparently quit working (for a time) on his novel after seeing Bladerunner because he felt he had been beat to the punch in terms of what he wanted to create.
