Please Don't Mess This Up
Neuromancer, possibly one of the greatest works of fiction written in the last 25 years, is being made into a movie. I'm excited and horrified all at the same time. Published in 1984, this book had quite an effect on a then 12 year old budding computer programmer. Tales of cyberspace, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and genetic engineering all ring a little more true today then I could have ever imagined when I first read them all those years ago. Go read it and think about the fact that it was published in 1984, it's truly amazing how prescient some of the predictions are. So, please Hollywood guys, don't turn this book into a lousy movie. As for the author himself, he puts it more eloquently than I ever could.
