Arguably, Inception was even closer to Neuromancer. They were both about a washed up hacker who is recruited to do one last job who first has to assemble a crew to do it. And they both end up dealing with a simulation of their former lover at the end! And in a ruined city! Yes, it was dream hacking in Inception but that was the only major difference.
- AceJohnny2 4y agoNice, I never made the connection! Inception is so tonally different to how I felt Neuromancer.
- Apocryphon 4y agoInception is pretty much an analog cyberpunk story. Its themes are of simulated realities, induced hallucinations, questioning perception, the sort of stuff that goes back to Philip K. Dick proto-cyberpunk. Its trappings are of shadowy megacorporations (one is named Cobol Engineering!), heists undertaken by specialized teams of gun-toting fashionistas, malignant anomalies with minds of their own.
