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
I really like the AI voodoo gods, but not as much as the cosmic position the AI are left in at the end of the first book. I get why Gibson needed to reset the scope, but it's still a little disappointing.
The sequels still have genre defining moments. The extraction that Count Zero opens with is pure cyberpunk. And I like them as stories. Molly babysitting a little girl is fun. But they just aren't perfect the way Neuromancer is.
