[Tom]

This article about Snow Crash being in development as a streaming TV series is from September 2017, but it gets mentioned in more recent articles around the web. Anyone have anything more recent in terms of an update?

The article says that Snow Crash is a one-hour drama?? Surely they can’t mean to do that book justice in just one hour.

I think that refers to the length of each episode. One hour as opposed to a half hour. Then it would be a matter of determining how many one-hour episodes it would take to tell the story.

Oh god! Here I go again: worried about the foetid mouth of Hollywood chewing on one of my favorite books. God only know what watery saliva-covered product will be expectorated for my enjoyment!

Hey, they surprised us all by making the "Blade Runner" sequel damn good. I have faith they could pull something off with "Neuromancer" or "Snow Crash" if the right people are in charge.
