Apple TV hit the jackpot when it won the rights to the classic science fiction novel Neuromancer by William Gibson, but the studio is taking on an immense challenge as well. Neuromancer has been called "unfilmable" by fans and critics over the years, and while many titles have gotten that ominous adjective, it feels particularly apt here. Neuromancer helped create the cyberpunk subgenre as we know it, and it even originated the term "cyberspace." Key moments of the story take place in an abstract virtual reality which will be hard to render on screen. On top of that, Gibson's writing style here is intentionally fragmented due to the mental state of his narrator, so there's no telling how this will all work on screen.
