There isn't much in this article, other than a reminder that Neuromancer is currently filming in Tokyo. Also, I don't think it's been announced what role Emma Laird has so I don't know if it really hurts things for her to not have read the book. We'll see how well this quote ages though:

i think i understand the book but it took over 10 years and multiple readings and then the second time I listened to it on audiobook it all made more sense. still, some parts are just impossible to describe...

like, tell me without quoting the book, what a deck looks like

Its just a portable computer the he carries on a shoulder strap. What it looks like? Forgetting that detail doesnt break the plot 🤷
