Adaptation and Significance

William Gibson, an executive producer on the series, expressed his satisfaction on Bluesky, writing: "Anyone who doesn't see how very satisfied I've been throughout production doesn't get what I most want out of an adaptation" Source: Engadget. Showrunner Graham Roland noted at the SDCC panel that Gibson's novel feels especially timely today, as "he wrote about the collision of artificial intelligence and human intelligence before artificial intelligence existed. Now we’re living in a world 42 years later, where these things are part of all of our everyday lives" Source: Gizmodo. This marks the first screen adaptation of the novel, which has long been considered unfilmable.
