The book "Void Star" by Zachary Mason was published last year. A high concept pitch for it is "Neuromancer, but all the 80s stuff is replaced with 2018 stuff".

The book "Void Star" by Zachary Mason was published last year. A high concept pitch for it is "Neuromancer, but all the 80s stuff is replaced with 2018 stuff". I hope the author wouldn't be offended by that -- the book is quite original but the influence is obvious. It's worth reading.
I would basically be okay with somebody doing this again in another 30 years.
- yborg 8y agoRead it recently, had some ideas, but seemed to be either a conscious crib of Gibson's cyberpunk oeuvre or just so derivative of it that I kept comparing scenes/characters in it to similar ones in Neuromancer. And Gibson is the better writer.
