Inside the 42-Year Journey to Bring ‘Neuromancer’ to the Screen
After decades of stalled attempts, William Gibson’s 1984 science-fiction novel *Neuromancer* is being adapted as an Apple TV series, due for release on 22 January. The project brings the influential story of hackers, artificial intelligence and cyberspace to the screen for the first time, while its creators and cast face the expectations attached to a genre-defining book.
