William Gibson wrote Neuromancer on a 1927 model of an olive-green Hermes portable typewriter. Do you get it? He wrote a book that birthed the cyber-punk movement on an antique typewriter! Crazy.
Neuromancer is supposedly being made into a movie starring Hayden Christensen and Angelina Jolie. Groan.
I have always thought that Gibson's work is well suited for the big screen, especially now that special effects have become advanced enough to bring his vision to life. I can't wait to see Molly and Case in action.
The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.
