Rumors are flying that Apple will make William Gibson's 'Neuromancer' into a TV series. But who will star? And will this be the first great cyberpunk TV series?

And Disney should unironically remake Johnny Mnemonic while we’re at it.

I'm confused.

Johnny Mnemonic takes place in a world where Transnational Megacorps are the real power. Nations, being physical are limited and so are owned by or overridden and controlled by transnationals.

So Disney, a medium empire with control of IP and influence making a version of Johnny Mnemonic would be ironic.

Molly was born in the 'Johnny Mnemonic' short story.
