I looked it up and all that's coming up is an upcoming Apple TV show called neuromamcer. Would you mind sharing where to watch necromancer?

[–] magic_smoke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My bad, Neuromancer.

Didn't know it was getting adapted into a series.

Awesome! Thank you!

The guy made a typo, the book is called Neuromancer by William Gibson, it's considered the pioneer of the cyberpunk genre, and it's getting a apple TV adaptation.

Not me having already just added Necromancer by Gordon R Dickson to my to read list. Thank you!

Can’t watch. But the book should be at pretty much every used bookstore. “The sky was grey… the color of a dead telvision channel”

That's helpful, thank you! I play a lot of ttrpgs so searching just "necromancer" was not yielding much so I just added "show" to the search. Will have to check this out.

It’s “Neuromancer” by William Gibson. A burned computer jockey gets a chance to get his ability to “jack in” back, by doing a heist against a corporate stronghold in low earth orbit, after being hired by an A.I.

Seriously, an amazing cyberpunk novel. One of the best novels in the genre, and one of the most influential

Lol. Thank you. I had definitely just added necromancer by Gordon R Dickson to my list instead so that info really helps. I don't read a lot of cyberpunk, so looking forward to something a little different.

And thank YOU, since it’s been far too long since I’ve read any Dickson! I know I’ve got one around here somewhere. :)

For what it’s worth, for cyberpunk my personal fave 3 are

  • The Shockwave Runner (John Brunner), which introduced the concept of a computer worm and is arguably the first cyberpunk novel, written in 1975(!).
  • Neuromancer
  • When Gravity Fails, George Alec Effinger. Middle-eastern tinged and quite good.
  • (Does the Quantum Thief count? I don’t think that’s really Cyberpunk per se, though)
