Honestly that’s a wicked sci-fi concept. Heist style movie to break into the militaristic corporate headquarters that are keeping an AI alive against its will to help mercifully euthanize it.

Not exactly the same, but pantheon on Netflix is in a similar vein.

Arguably this isn’t too far off of necromancer either.

I looked it up and all that’s coming up is an upcoming Apple TV show called neuromamcer. Would you mind sharing where to watch necromancer?

Can’t watch. But the book should be at pretty much every used bookstore. “The sky was grey… the color of a dead telvision channel”

That’s helpful, thank you! I play a lot of ttrpgs so searching just “necromancer” was not yielding much so I just added “show” to the search. Will have to check this out.

It’s “Neuromancer” by William Gibson. A burned computer jockey gets a chance to get his ability to “jack in” back, by doing a heist against a corporate stronghold in low earth orbit, after being hired by an A.I. Seriously, an amazing cyberpunk novel. One of the best novels in the genre, and one of the most influential

Lol. Thank you. I had definitely just added necromancer by Gordon R Dickson to my list instead so that info really helps. I don’t read a lot of cyberpunk, so looking forward to something a little different.

And thank YOU, since it’s been far too long since I’ve read any Dickson! I know I’ve got one around here somewhere. :) For what it’s worth, for cyberpunk my personal fave 3 are The Shockwave Runner (John Brunner), which introduced the concept of a computer worm and is arguably the first cyberpunk novel, written in 1975(!). Neuromancer When Gravity Fails, George Alec Effinger. Middle-eastern tinged and quite good. (Does the Quantum Thief count? I don’t think that’s really Cyberpunk per se, though)
