Do it. I read the book last year and loved it.

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.
