Hopefully it’s only loosely based on the source material. Neuromancer is among the worst books in the genre it invented.

    Read the book decades ago and enjoyed it. Why do you say it's terrible?

    The story has almost zero action, the characters are insipid and undeveloped, and the prose is wholly unremarkable. I think Neuromancer is popular because it’s popular, which is not uncommon.

    The prose is one of the best parts imo. The main character has had his mind and body modified and drugged to the point of constantly being confused. The chaotic writing helped put the reader in that headspace.
