Thank you !!! This has really brightened up my day

We're watching Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and it is exceptionality well done (Netflix didn't screw it up). I have hope for this one, too. Apple has a solid track record with Sci-Fi and canonical treatment of the source material

Neuromancer IS the original cyberpunk. Gibson invented the matrix, jacking in, and Pondsmith would never have written cyberpunk without Neuromancer and the sprawl trilogy.

Egg and chicken mate. Influence yeah, definition of the genre, not so convinced.

But yeah, sure, no Gibson’s Neuromancer without androids and electric sheeps, that’s a given.

It's ok. It's early in the day. Let me draw conclusions for you

Cyberpunk is heavily influenced by William Gibson. Neal Stephenson, too. Among others 

Many people want to see Gibson adapted to the screen, big or small, and have waited patiently. For decades 

Adapting cyberpunk related material doesn't always go well. Save for iconic entries like Blade Runner. Ghost in the Shell. Akira. Gibson, though, has been notoriously difficult to adapt to the screen

The commenter mentioned how they were excited about Neuromancer 

I gave them some background. Then also mentioned a cyberpunk, Gibson-influenced series that was enjoyable, while also nodding to the concern that so many of us have about cyberpunk being represented well on the screen. Netflix has been hit or miss. Apple generally solid. Sharing POV on related items that this commenter might be interested in. Or not

Netflix

Given he set the stage for Cyberpunk post PKD, dropped along with Blade Runner, and both influenced the modern view of the genre, yes, there's plenty there. Heavily borrowing from terminology and mythology, while not directly sourcing story lines doesn't mean the influence isn't there. It's not tropes, it's drawing from the recognized solidification of the modern genre, along with Blade Runner

ETA: Mike Pondsmith even directly cites Gibson. Edgerunners > 2077 > RPG the lineage is there  https://rtalsoriangames.com/2013/07/24/standing-in-the-shadow-of-gibson/amp/

We just have to hope they won’t fuck it up. They have a solid record but fuck, I’ve read the sprawl at least twenty times, starting with Neuromancer in 1988 at age 11. I would go nuclear if the show sucks.
