Apple TV has done a pretty good job on most adaptations, so I'm pretty stoked about this OG cyberpunk tale. Congrats Bill.

I imagined the Chatsubo in 1984. 41 years later I opened its door. Neuromancer is in production.

Just dropping this sacrifice in the ether-altar to get those clicks and follows! I hear one needs a pre-built audience to appeal to the gods. I had great fun writing this awhile back, I may pick it up again.

Reading through the Feb ed. of 'The 3rd Degree' and found this spunky answer from author Rosalie Knecht.
Q: What’s the single best piece of writing advice you’ve ever been given (or wish you’d been given)?
