Man. Neuromancer is one of my favorite novels ever. I re-listen to it as an audiobook while exercising probably once a year. It's going to be a shame reading how about they shit all over this (won't really matter, though, as they can never take the novel away from me).

I'm guessing what they'll do here is lean crazy hard into making Molly (for anyone who hasn't read Neuromancer, it's basically what they based the Trinity aesthetic from The Matrix on) into the main character, and Case will be a total loser (even more so than he already is. lol).

You know, that's the crazy part here. If they just faithfully adapted the book, it already has everything they like (other than the male being the primary protagonist). Molly is a cybered up female merc, who does most of the ass kicking in the book, while Case is just a burned out semi-pathetic hacker guy. It's got exactly what they want as antagonists (the human ones, anyhow): 3Jane is a powerful female, and sympathetic, as her "father" Ashpool is the classic white male ultra-rich scumbag (he literally thaws a clone of his daughter out to rape/kill). It has a badass Asian ninja guy. Fuck, it even has a dreadlocked Rastafarian that helps Case storm the enemy "fortress" at the end.

They could literally just leave the entire story alone, and do it as written, and we could all be happy. We all know they won't, though. ::sighs::

I'm guessing were going to get stuff like:

  • Molly changed to be a poc, and probably a lesbian (she had a former male lover in the book, who is actually the Keanu Reeves character from Johnny Mnemonic).
  • Case changed to be a poc (and made less pathetic).
  • The Dixie Flatline will be a poc/female.
  • The Panther Modern "gang" will obviously all need to be pocs fighting the oppression of the white led system.
  • They will probably make The Finn be female.
  • Riviera is a total piece of shit, so he can probably be left as male.
  • Armitage will probably be left as is.
  • Wintermute (being the good, or less "evil" AI) will obviously be voiced by a woman, and Neuromancer will be voiced by a man (even though the AI's always communicate with Case through impersonating someone else he knows, but that won't be the case here, as they will want some way to have their "male = bad, female = good" theme.)
