Don't call it bad writing, it's style, it's deep, you don't get it.

Someone was asking about the Neuromancer screenplay I wrote a few years back. Just found the first draft. It would make a better film than a book.

It is not the end-all and be-all of opening lines, but it conjures a vivid image, and makes a kind of promise to the reader which the subsequent pages pay off in full.

I enjoy reading the works of William Gibson, Neuromancer especially.

It wouldn't work on screen. They did "cyberspace" in Johnny Mnemonic and it was laughable.

It would work. You just have to do it right. Also Johnny Mnemonic is just a short story, and there's no decent character development or relationships. Neuromancer has a lot more meat in it.
