Wanna see the trailer for Neuromancer coming to Apple TV? Of course you do. Same here. I’ll not only post the trailer and the premier date (Jan 22) I’ll also do a mini preamble to put things in a bit of context. Why? I’m cool like that.

Neuromancer is a novel. Written by William Gibson. It was published in 1984. Now that was an interesting year for us Sci Fi geeks. Loads of cool shit was happening. Terminator. Dune. Buckaroo Bonsai were in the theaters, and the book, Neuromancer was a word-of-mouth phenomenon. This book really started a ton of sci-fi staples we all kind of take for granted now: Console Cowboys, Cybernetic enhancements, rogue AI. Gibson really kicked off something big. Ever see the Matrix? Yeah. Things are starting to make more sense now. Thanks, Neuromancer.

Now we come to the Apple TV adaptation. Will it be good to see the world of Neuromancer? You bet. Will they be smart enough to stick to the source material? Time will tell. All I can say now? Neuromancer the show looks like a million bucks. Apple isn’t shy about spending dough. Good! Neuromancer starts streaming Jan 22.
