The upcoming Apple TV+ adaptation of William Gibson's Neuromancer appears to have avoided updating the technology to modern-day, a decision that could have ruined the story. Early teasers show a retrotech aesthetic that preserves the original 1984 novel's vision, with classic monitors, static fuzz, and a noir atmosphere. This choice maintains the core stakes of cyberspace jacking in and honors the pioneering cyberpunk work. The show, featuring William Gibson's involvement, looks promising based on promotional material.
