I think the two are sufficiently different that you could do it well. Just because they share the same genre doesn't mean they're necessarily redundant. Specifically Neuromancer has a very interesting mixture of pop culture and late stage capitalism that I could see being unique. A meditation on extreme wealth inequality and the dehumanizing aspects of capitalism and colonialism could be fascinating. I think any auteur could make this into a unique piece of art. I just question whether that's going to happen here.
