In summer 2003, I heard part of a radio adaptation of William Gibson's Neuromancer on XM Radio, shortly after I had finished reading the book for the first time. Unfortunately, I had a flight to catch and was only able to listen to a few minutes of it.
Many details from the book were cut in the few scenes (bar scene) that I heard, but it clearly had very high production quality. This was not an audio book, but rather featured a full cast with sound effects.
I have a three-part question about this show:
- Who produced this show?
- Did it cover the entire book?
- Is it available for download or purchase anywhere?

While I was writing the question I managed to find what I was looking for.
The Neuromancer radio drama was produced by the BBC World Service. It is an abridged, dramatized form of the entire book. It originally aired in two parts in September 2002, and was re-broadcast in the summer of 2003.
The BBC Play of the Week (Neuromancer):
Radio play
The BBC World Service Drama production of Neuromancer aired in two
one-hour parts, on 8 and 15 September 2002. Dramatised by Mike Walker,
and directed by Andy Jordan, it starred Owen McCarthy as Case, Nicola
Walker as Molly, James Laurenson as Armitage, John Shrapnel as
Wintermute, Colin Stinton as Dixie, David Webber as Maelcum, David
Holt as Riviera, Peter Marinker as Ashpool, and Andrew Scott as The
Finn. It can no longer be heard on The BBC World Service Archive.
Unfortunately, it is has not been available from the BBC since at least 2005.
Someone had apparently preserved the original broadcast (the linked post was written by Cory Doctorow, praising the preservation effort), but it is no longer available, either:
Neuromancer radio play preservation effort in the teeth of bureacracy
A fan of the BBC radio play adaptation of William Gibson's Neuromancer
has launched a one-fan preservation and distribution effort. Jody
Armstrong has the audio available for download on a web-page, along
with some fan-art and a plaintive disclaimer begging someone from the
Beeb to return the phone-calls and emails left asking for permission
to do so.
I did find a poor-quality recording of the original broadcast on YouTube.
And a much higher-quality version of the re-broadcast on SoundCloud (this is exactly what I remember hearing on XM Radio):
Neuromancer - Part 1 (SoundCloud)
Neuromancer - Part 2 (SoundCloud)
