Adopt Count Zero instead, you fucking cowards! Have a single original thought!

30 somethings?

Oh for fuck's sake. Entertainment news writing is a shitshamble of mind games and disrespect regardless of the properties (mis)represented. The next fucking thing on the bingo card is a right wing outrage into right wing grift featuring some actually nonexistant drama about the property.

TIL Neuromancer is the Cyndi Lauper of cyberpunk

"It's like if Robert Jordan and George RR Martin had a love child who taught at Oxford"

Bruh, sometimes marketing teams need to be taken behind the shed out back and their replacements forced to watch. How hard was it to put "The father of the cyberpunk genre" ???

I already did. 30something? Try 50 mumblety.

lmfao

I am sorry, but I am triggered, yes.

With what I've heard about the Apple TV adaptation of Foundation I don't even want to imagine how they're going to adapt Neuromancer Probably make Case a telepath or some shit

finding uniquely stupid ways to make you click-through for the title is this generations bad commercials or robocalls

its also a horribly painful sentence to read. who orders words like that?

Fuck ScreenRant. All of their articles have these confusing and misleading headlines to get you to click out of confusion.

Specifically headlines NOT saying the thing is a modern internet tactic to get folks to watch/read/click more to try to find the title

It's called wildly inaccurate. A high-concept pitch for Necromancer would be something like "For All Mankind meets The Wire".

I mean, I'd give it a look if I had apple tv. Never heard of the book, lemme take a peek on the googlebox. ....Oh I need to read this like, ten years ago. Brb ordering the trilogy. 🍀

My blood pressure is rising, but I'm in my forties, so better calm down.

Sure, but when you hit your 40's an amazing thing happens... you realize that you've only got so many fucks left to give, and shit like this doesn't even rate the "maybe" pile.

Same!

You mean fortysomethings and fiftysomethings.

thirtysomething, eh? that's offensive to the sixtysomethings who watched that back then!

Shouldn't sending a bunch of 30somethings into a rage spiral be the goal?

Just like World of Warhammer Online amirite

oh im spiraling

Only way I can see this is that it assumes that people who watch TV are incapable of also reading books, this show is like these other things you may have seen

“It’s a bit like Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings meets Moana” - me describing a new Earthsea adaptation, shortly before being beaten to death by the left hand of nerdiness

Neuromancer was published 42 years ago...

wait until you hear about the 50somethings howling about the J. G. Ballard erasure.

some real "use the force, harry" energy here

this is a title about NEUROMANCER??????

As a non English native, I had to reread this 10 times and can't understand how it's an actual sentence

I heard this show is a bit derivative (but for real, I remember reading a review of the exciting new novel in the Micronet user magazine, way back when).

Am thirtysomething, currently in a rage spiral, can confirm.
