In a flickering 1990 loft, cyberpunk prophet William Gibson and psychedelic outlaw Timothy Leary ignite a neon rebellion that hacks the future itself.
Synopsis
1990 pulses with static and possibility as literary outlaw William Gibson, fresh off Neuromancer, crosses paths with Timothy Leary in a haze of cigarette smoke and cathode rays. Their charged encounter frames a whirlwind tour through the cyberpunk underground—hackers, artists, and futurists forging a new mythology from the wreckage of the analog age. Stylized verité footage intercuts with fever-dream reenactments: Gibson declaims cyberspace from a battered laptop while Leary preaches digital transcendence through a haze of vintage monitors. The film captures the moment when the counterculture pivots from LSD to code, birthing the archetypes that would dominate the coming decades. As the clock ticks toward the new millennium, the documentary crescendos into a prophetic warning: the future they invented is already here, and it is watching.
The story
William Gibson arrives in a rain-slicked Tokyo hotel room clutching the first Neuromancer manuscript while Timothy Leary broadcasts psychedelic manifestos from a San Francisco loft wired with early modems.
The two icons collide at a chaotic cyberpunk salon where hackers, theorists, and media vultures clash over the soul of the coming digital frontier, exposing betrayals and visionary rifts.
As the movement fragments, Gibson and Leary deliver their final transmissions, leaving a haunting blueprint that now pulses through every screen on Earth.

Cold open
INT. RAIN-SLICKED TOKYO HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT A cathode-blue glow paints the walls. WILLIAM GIBSON, 42, trench coat still dripping, hunches over a battered Toshiba laptop. Rain hammers the window. Outside, Shinjuku neon bleeds across the glass. GIBSON (typing, muttering) The sky above the port was the color of television tuned to a dead channel. He stops. Lights a cigarette. The modem SHRIEKS to life. Suddenly the door bursts open. TIMOTHY LEARY, 70, wild hair, Hawaiian shirt under a leather jacket, strides in carrying a portable satellite dish like a holy relic. LEARY They told me you invented the future, Gibson. I came to baptize it. Gibson stares, smoke curling. Leary slams the dish onto the desk, cables sparking. LEARY (CONT'D) Plug in, prophet. The revolution just went online.
Why now
Decades after Gibson and Leary first warned of a wired world, their 1990 collision feels like a Rosetta Stone for our present moment of algorithmic control, digital identity, and countercultural pushback.
