I picked up Hyperion on a whim on Kindle because it was on sale for 2$.

Amazing book, I bought and loved the other 3, I still hope they do a good miniseries with the books.

I sincerely hope they don't make any adaptation... after the slaughterhouse they've made with 3 Body Problem, Foundation, Altered Carbon, et al Not to mention all the damage done to other more traditional works of fiction.

  • Sometimes it's done right, like with The Expanse. Although the writers also wrote some of the episode scripts, so that probably helped...

    • To each their own I guess. I never found the Expanse television series to be very good when compared to the books.

  • You can add the Wheel of Time to the list :(((

    But, the Expanse is not that bad really. Books were much more immersive with regards to the micro-G and low-G environments, but that is something almost impossible to film (at least until we learn how to control gravity).

  • Hm altered carbon season 1 was pretty good?

    the books are still on my to read list.
