After a legendary 42-year journey through Hollywood development hell, William Gibson's seminal 1984 cyberpunk novel 'Neuromancer' is finally getting a screen adaptation, courtesy of Apple TV+. The series stars Callum Turner as Case, a computer hacker jacked directly into cyberspace, and Jodie Turner-Smith as the razor-fingered mercenary Molly.

The novel invented concepts like 'cyberspace' and brain-computer interfaces long before they entered mainstream tech culture. This adaptation, led by showrunners Graham Roland and JD Dillard, carries the immense burden of bringing one of sci-fi's most influential worlds to life for a generation that now lives inside the future Gibson imagined. The story's long, strange trip to the screen feels as fittingly glitchy and meta as the book itself.
