There isn’t much in this article, other than a reminder that Neuromancer is currently filming in Tokyo. Also, I don’t think it’s been announced what role Emma Laird has so I don’t know if it really hurts things for her to not have read the book. We’ll see how well this quote ages though:

It’s a very confusing book, but I think somehow bringing that onto the screen helps tell that story maybe a bit more clearly.

    This article hints at disaster. Hopefully this person only has a brief appearance as a background character.

    i think i understand the book but it took over 10 years and multiple readings and then the second time I listened to it on audiobook it all made more sense. still, some parts are just impossible to describe…

    like, tell me without quoting the book, what a deck looks like

      Its just a portable computer the he carries on a shoulder strap. What it looks like? Forgetting that detail doesnt break the plot 🤷

      I always picture it as a boxy flat-top pc, like a smaller version of an old horizontal PC case but with keyboard and stuff on top.

      Maybe the word “deck” implies that? Makes me think of vcr deck, tape deck, stuff you’d stack on top of each other in an 80’s media cabinet.

    I’ve tried to read it twice. I got further the second time but it just didn’t hold my interest.
