Neuromancer - The Origin Of Cyberpunk
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 бер 2024
- The ground-breaking origin of Cyberpunk Media, the book which started a genre. Neuromancer inspired countless pieces of media from Cyberpunk 2077 to the Matrix. The themes in this book have become so pervasive we often forget, it all started here.
Neuromancer is one of the greatest science fiction books ever written. A book which stands the test of time and remarkably predicted it. We're going to discuss the themes of this book, and why it has remained relevant for so long: AI, Corporatism, Identity, Reality and more !

Listened to this audio book it's like I'm back in the 60's! But a very high-tech 60's!
for everyone born after 1990: the color of a television tuned to a dead channel is black-and-white static, not blue.
Yes ! I think its an amazing line as its interpretation changes on the time period. Gibson had in mind the very greyish hue from the 60's television; he said this on his twitter. I imagine the black and white static ! And of course blue is the most recent interpretation. Thanks for the comment :)
for everyone born after 2090: electricity was…
Really happy I gave this a shot ! Cool way to visualize a book too. I wish you talked more about how culture in cyberpunk becomes overridden by a commercial one.
Actually looking forward to the next video!
@@seanjay9457 ohhhh yasss!! mee to! looks promising to me
Thank you very amazing video 👏 ❤, don't worry this is just a sub-account I'm no Interpol 😂
Thank you :) Haha I wont worry !
i love how the whole internet, aka cyberspace in the neuromancer trilogy is basically garys mod vr...
Love your stuff man. Will you make more vids like this?
Yes :) Working on one for this Sunday !
Where are the images from?
Nova by Samuel R. Delany is an inspiration to Neuromancer second Gibson himself and can be see as the "first" Cyberpunk work.
Excellent book, and yes is often cited as the pre-cursor to cyberpunk or the origin of it. I'd personally draw the line at Neuromancer & Blade Runner for the two founding pieces but for sure there are strong arguments for Nova. I'll add it to my list of books to revisit, and maybe I'll change my mind !
This book was actually written, on a typewriter no less, in ‘81-‘82, but not PUBLISHED until ‘84. This is years before the general lay-public even knew what a GUI was, or anti-virus software & ICE. Just stupidly good and prescient - 40 yrs on and ChatGPT, AI, etc., continuing to evolve, just as Gibson showed(s) us. And the subtext of technology withdrawal weaving through the story just expands this book’s reach into its, and our own, future. Simply brilliant.
Absolutely, Gibson is a visionary. The fact he communicates these visions through prose, sometimes he seems like an oracle !
Nice introspective, Where did the images from the video come from? Looks like from a comic book? Recently re-read Neuromancer, everyone seems to forget the whole puply-noir mise-en-scène as its more prevalent than the dystopia aspect in my view anyway. Also the current appropriation/understanding of the term AI, should it not be more like, A2I - algorithmic augmented intelligence . As it currently is a reflection of the human data/information we put in it - "you spout out what's been poured in you?"
