Apple TV+ is set to adapt William Gibson’s iconic cyberpunk novel, Neuromancer, into a streaming series.

This news is particularly exciting for me. I adored this book as a kid, and it may be one of the only books I read more than once until I was 25. It’s also the only book I ever left on a plane, repurchased, and left on a plane again. As one of the only fans of Johnny Mnemonic, the film adaptation, it’s likely my bar for success is lower than most. But Apple is killing it with Sci-Fi, so chances are good I won’t have to be the lone champion of this one.
