I feel like most of the people with money would just play it up to be super cool instead of a dystopia. And given the Epstein stuff, not lightly edit it so the girl is of appropriate age.
The dystopia bit is what I’m worried about with the Neuromancer series coming out. It looks way too clean. Even the parts where streets are jam-packed look like clean jam-packed streets.
Seconded, although Mark ruined the concept of the Metaverse. And that sex scene with a 15 year old might need some rewriting. I love the book for its storyline and world building, but certain developments of the past 20 years stains the book.
Speaking of Stephenson, I wonder if Cryptonomicon could work as a TV series. Filming the two time periods without them seeming completely disconnected would be challenging, though.
Neil Stephenson’s snowcrash would be interesting.

True it could go really wrong but if done right it would be a really good satire.

Cryptonomicon would be cool, I could see it working on HBO or some other cable company.
