There is a BBC Audio drama of Neuromancer that is 1:56 long. It is excellent. [VIDEO] I haven't listened to the audio book of Neuromancer but I re-read it a few weeks back. The audio play I still go back to once in a while as well.

Although I highly recommend reading the full novel, if you don't have the time, this BBC audio rendition is only about 2 hours long and is pretty good. Note that it's a highly condensed version of the story and skips many of the best parts. [VIDEO]

The BBC did a pretty good audio adaptation of Neuromancer. You can listen to it here: [VIDEO] Neuromancer would be hard to do well as a film. But as fairly short TV series it would be excellent. There is huge potential as well because you could do, say Neuromancer in 4 hours and then do the rest of the trilogy. The best screen adaptation of a book I know of, Brideshead Revisited from 1981, took the book almost word for word and made a fairly long TV series. Neuromancer and the rest of the trilogy could be done the same way.
