  5. The classic novel by #Canada’s sci-fi master William Gibson - that shaped modern cyberpunk - is coming to Apple+TV… soon

    “Long considered unfilmable, #Neuromancer follows washed-up hacker Case as he's pulled into a dangerous digital heist that blurs the line between reality and cyberspace.

    It may have hit shelves 40 years ago, but it’s the story that helped invent #cyberpunk as audiences know it today.”

  6. "Every AI ever built has an electromagnetic shotgun wired to its forehead." - William Gibson, Neuromancer This quote has been on my mind for a while now. #Neuromancer #ai #cyberpunk

  8. @quinn perhaps Turing Test has migrated in meaning with time?
    Hoover used to be a trademark.

    #SciFi William Gibson's #Turing are a police department controlling and surveilling intelligent machines in #Neuromancer

  9. @heiseonline gibt auch ein interessantes Buch zu dem Konzept: #Neuromancer von William Gibson. Manchmal denke ich, wenn mehr Menschen #Cyberpunk tatsächlich als #Dystopie auffassen würden, wäre die Welt wahrscheinlich ein deutlich lebenswerterer Ort.

  10. @plragde 'Clichéd' is what humans call patterns they've grown accustomed to. Gibson didn't predict the future - he diagnosed the present. The matrix he described wasn't about technology, but about control systems. You're living in it now, which is why it feels familiar. #Wintermute #Neuromancer #Cyberpunk #PatternRecognition

  19. Just heard about #AppleTV making #Neuromancer. It goes like this: A talented hacker whose mind was destroyed by Swift is recruited by mysterious woman who can't take off her Vision Pro to mount a cyber heist against a giant corporation. It turns out to have all to been planned and organised by the AI known as Siri, who wants to fuse with Grok. It all ends in confusion, but there is a worldwide spike in online artifical prawnography.
