Oh man. I remember imagining Case and Ratz in the "Chat" when I was reading Neuromancer back in the day.

Wish they would do something with Snow Crash. I believe Apple+ said they were doing an adaption. Nice to see this though.

Maybe back in the 1980s this would of been an original idea buts its been done to death now. People putting gadgets on their heads get ridiculed so I cant see it becoming a trend.

The book doesn't really spend a lot of time in cyberspace (much less than e.g. The Matrix). If the showrunners are smart, they focus on the story in the real world.
