This is an incredibly fertile time to be adapting Neuromancer. Private space travel controlled by eccentric billionaires is an actual thing now. Independent AI seems way closer than ever before. Hacking and security are huge topics among governments and technical industries.
Parts of the story have to be updated for base plausibility anyway (4MB of hot RAM). If the show runners do it right, they will update more than just that so that it resonates with us today. That’s a creative achievement too. Heck, a lot of Shakespeare’s plays were adaptations.
