William Gibson is considered a founding father of the cyberpunk genre, but does he deserve the reputation? In episode 221, Luke & James read one of Gibson\u2019s earliest stories set in the world of his \u201cSprawl\u201d trilogy, then watch the adaptation directed by Robert Longo and compare the two. Topics include sharp dressed men in business suits, the Mandela Effect, a cross-dagger wielding Dolph Lundgren, Keanu Reeves\u2019s extensive cyberpunk r\xe9sum\xe9, and a cyberspace dolphin sequence to remember. They finish by casting their vote on which was better: the short story or the movie!
