I said this in another post but I'll repeat it here
One of two things will happen.
The show runners will stay true to the source material and a bunch of people will complain that it isn't original and Cyberpunk 2077/Bladerunner/[insert franchise here]* did it first. Completely unaware that Neuromancer did it first.
Or
The show runners will use Neuromancer as "inspiration" and write their own story, to better (Foundation) or worse (Ring of Power) results. Either way, fans of the original work will complain that the show isn't faithful to the source.
tl;dr: No matter what they do, someone will be vocally upset
ETA: *Ghost in the Shell, I couldn't think of it earlier
Mostly youtubers with clickbait thumbnails, and people without intelligence of their own blindly parroting what the clickbait tells them to.
