    The first line is ‘the television colored sky.’ Gibson talks about how that went from grey static to bright blue to black. Seeing as how we’ve already surpassed a lot of the book’s future, I think the film makers should embrace it and make a show that looks like it was made in the 1980s looking at a bizarre future.

    On a related note; “Stand On Zanzibar” was written in 1968 and won the Hugo for best science fiction novel. It was set in the early 21st Century and is being republished because of how well the author predicted the future. You might want to give it a read.
