A great book. Unfortunately after Johnny Mnemonic , and the matrix(2+3) which were total garbage, I'm not sure I would want a movie based on that book.
It however influenced so much good stuff,like Ghost in the shell which is basically the same plot,Deus ex and others.
I enjoyed the audio-book read by Gibson itself,it was excellent.
- devindotcom 12y agoGhost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex (the show, first two seasons) is definitely some of the best and most sophisticated sci-fi in the genre. Really quite amazing.
- lmm 12y agoIf you're ok with animation you might like Kaiba. This very weird visual style which is actually the whole point, and a superficially childish world that makes the underlying cyberpunk horror all the clearer.
- alecco 12y agoIf produced by Charlie Brooker, count me in. Hell, make a multi-season series of the Sprawl Trilogy. HBO?
- tabrischen 12y agoConsidering that Darren Aronofsky is adapting Margaret Atwood's 'MaddAddam’ book Trilogy as a HBO series, a Sprawl Trilogy could very well be a distant reality.
- andyjohnson0 12y agoI enjoyed the audio-book read by Gibson itself,it was excellent. Me too. For others who might be curious, it can be obtained from [1]. The source is legally dubious, but Gibson's narration doesn't seem to be commercially available at the moment.

- tabrischen 12y agoIt's pretty bad luck that his books suffered from so much adaptation decay. If only the same studios and directors that produced movies inspired by Philip Dick were also interested in Gibson (blade runner, total recall, minority report, just to name a few), there might have been some cinematographic masterpiece.
- Kiro 12y agoThe Matrix? I know there are several things in it inspired by Neuromancer. Is that what you are referring to?
- Crito 12y agoI think he means the two sequels, not the original. Many people believe that the two sequels compromised their artistic integrity in order to pander to the lowest common denominator of movie audiences. Having Neuromancer turn out that way would be incredibly disappointing.
