William Gibson's Neuromancer is receiving a 10-episode series adaptation on Apple TV Plus after years of development challenges. The novel, central to the cyberpunk genre, intertwines themes of artificial intelligence and wealth inequality within a high-tech heist narrative. The adaptation aims to capture the essence of the original work, which introduced the concept of "the matrix," influencing numerous subsequent films and media. A teaser trailer has been released, showcasing Chatsubo, a key location, introducing the protagonist, Case, and the cyborg assassin, Molly, as they navigate a corporate heist.
Gibson coined the concept of "the matrix" as a name for an immersive cyber world, setting the stage for The Matrix films and their successors like Ready Player One.
Neuromancer explores the perils of artificial intelligence and extreme wealth inequality over the course of a high-tech heist, elements that might feel too familiar to anyone who's watched Altered Carbon or Blade Runner 2049.
With the help of the cyborg assassin Molly, he’ll try to pull a heist on a corporation with deep secrets.
Apple TV Plus used the 41st anniversary of Neuromancer's publication to release a very simple teaser trailer for the show.
