"Reading Neuromancer for the first time in 2025, I was struck by how eerily prescient Gibson was in so many ways—but also by what he didn’t anticipate. You can still smoke in a bar, for one. Also, print media is still the norm (maybe it makes a comeback?), and discarded newspapers blow through the streets of Manhattan. Most noticeably, not a single person in the book uses a mobile phone. There are levitating trains but no cellular devices—at one point, the main character is stalked by the ringing of payphones (very Matrix).

But what stands out most of all is that the vast amount of technology described in Neuromancer is either Japanese or German. The Standard Hitachi Pocket Computer, the Sanyo Vacuum Suit, and the Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7 from Hosaka Computer? All Japanese. The Braun Coffee Maker, the Braun Microdrone, and the Telefunken Entertainment Console? All German. Not one piece of American tech I can think of is mentioned. Even one of the spacecraft is built by the Dornier-Fujitsu yards, a fictional German-Japanese manufacturer.

Which should hardly be surprising. In 1984, the future of technology looked distinctly non-American: Japan was dominating consumer electronics (think: Sony Walkmans and Pioneer Laserdisk players). The only Microsoft products were software and a mouse; Apple had only just released the first Macintosh. Gibson’s assumption that all of the state of art technology in the future would be Japanese makes all the sense in the world."

Really looking forward to Apple's new sci-fi Neuromancer coming from the Dark Winds people. I wonder if they finished filming yet. Production started in January.

I have recently re-read two of William Gibson's "Sprawl" novels, and I can barely count the times I've furrowed my brows to say, "what just happened?"

Fiquei animado demais com as imagens que saíram dos bastidores da série de tv de Neuromancer, por isso estou fazendo uma fanart da Molly Millions.

A imagem é uma ilustração em preto e branco de uma personagem sentada em um ambiente que parece ser um quarto de um hotel capsula. A personagem tem cabelos curtos e desgrenhados, com expressão facial que sugere confiança e determinação. Ela está usando um traje com detalhes que indicam ser um traje futurista. A personagem exibe uma mão com garras longas e afiadas, sugerindo um design futurista ou de ficção científica. A personagem está sentada com as pernas dobradas. A mão estendida com garras é o ponto focal da imagem, destacando-se contra o fundo. O fundo é simples, com linhas que sugerem uma parede ou uma superfície texturizada, e não há outros elementos ou personagens visíveis. A ilustração é feita com lápis de grafite, com sombreamento e textura que dão profundidade à imagem. A atenção aos detalhes na expressão facial e no traje da personagem, juntamente com a pose dinâmica, contribuem para uma sensação de movimento e personalidade.

pretty great casting!

love Gibson's worlds but I can't stand his writing style, so I'm super happy to hear there's a Neuromancer TV show coming. Heck, I thought The Peripheral was fantastic and better than the book for what it lasted (curse you amazon!)

I just hope they make it a one season per book thing, rather than drag the story endlessly.
