I own all of Gibson's works. Have you seen his interview where he discusses the future of humanity as he rides around in the back of a limo? Which is only part of the one or two hour film... I haven't watched it in a while so I can't describe it all... but if you feel the cyberpunk in you... check out a band called VNV Nation.

@Allyn76 : As far as I could tell: THE 13TH FLOOR, THE MATRIX, 12 MONKEYS, JOHNNY MNEMONIC, EXISTENZE, 2001: SPACE ODYSSEY, TEXHNOLYZE, THE CELL, EVENT HORIZON.
heck yes!!!!! SERIAL EXPERIMENTS LAIN!! i was just waiting for someone to make that connection between William Gibson's Neuromancer and Lain!!! thank you!!! awesome!!
These are not films that inspired William Gibson, they are arguably films inspired by the novel. Neuromancer was written in 1984 while The Matrix didn't come out til 1999. I don't know why you have a clip from Event Horizon in there though?
BCI is brain/computer interface. EEG is electo encephelograph. FMRI is Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging. As for the actual details of each technology, I suggest wikipedia; youtube doesn't allow nearly enough characters per comment to explain any of them.
Although direct wetwiring would have higher bandwidth, it's also both dangerous and invasive. Most BCI systems on the market these days are glorified EEG machines, and so are much safer (though still dangerous). We barely know how to process the data output of EEGs aside from determining brainwave states (though we can do more interesting things with FMRI, those machines are quite noisy), so direct jacking is a while off at least for complex stuff. The upside is you can train yourself for EEG.
2001 came out before neuromancer. But then again, so did Blade Runner -- which is often cited as being a good example of film inspired by neuromancer. In fact, gibson is quoted as saying that he rewrote a good portion of the book after seeing Blade Runner because he thought people would accuse him of plagarising it (Blade Runner has very little to do with the book it was based on, and is closer to neuromancer than to PKD's DADoES).
Black Rain, Strange Days, The 6th Day, The thirteenth floor, Dark City, Johny Mnemonic, Matrix, Twelve Monkeys, Lain, The Cell, Virtuosity, eXistenZ, 2001 a space odissey, Hackers, Terminator, Even Horizon.
I have done it six years ago, maybe i don't remember all the films, but i think the list is complete. Enjoy all the films, are quite good!
Why do people always have their plugs in the back of the neck or other places they can't easily see or reach? It's not like having a line routed to your forearm would slow the data down. Sure it's a little more work to install but so much more convenient.
Your brain is not something to be trifled with, Nerojacks are hard to acess to prevent novices from trying to jack in thenmselves to untrustworthy sorces alone. Or maybe cosmeticaly, people prefer to look at faces without the impersonal machine look.
This gave me flashback from a dxm trip. It was so confusing that i dont remember much, but this video made me think. :)

At the beginning you used a track of Jean Michel Jarre, if I'm not mistaken, could you please tell me the title of that track.
Thanks.
Excellent video, it would be great to have Neuromancer brought into the big screen.

Why do people always have their plugs in the back of the neck or other places they can't easily see or reach? It's not like having a line routed to your forearm would slow the data down. Sure it's a little more work to install but so much more convenient.
