Maybe not?

On one hand I SO WISH, on the other, violence and suggestive content are probably never going to work and it would be badly mutilated so… maybe it’s better not?

I read the whole cycle and I simply couldn’t stop until the last page.
ABSOLUTELY phenomenal.

Maybe, but if you kept to the tone of the books it would have to be very much ‘tongue-in-cheek’ and a lot of sex and violence could be toned down and be implied… I personally would much rather it was done as comedy if they were going to do it as a series or movie. You would need to talk Terry Gilliam into directing it to pull that off though?

Maybe but it’s not a pure comedy. It has the dark comedic tone of reality but it would really need an exceptional team to keep the same vibes of the book.

The Magicians was like that. The series was pretty successful.

Have you read “the kaiju preservation society” hilarious and silly but incredibly touching and well written.

The Gallic War by Julius Caesar. In English of course.

We read parts of it in Latin class in school, sometime 1986 or 1987. Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres 
Nice! “Gaul is divided into three parts”.

Usually I completely ignore the “suggested” news articles of the day. However, there was a gem in today’s roundup of mostly nonsensical drivel.
I thought it was worth the 20 minutes to read through.

I just finished Machinehood by S. B. Divya
Very contemporary. It was nominated for a Nebula Award in 2021, and is a searing indictment of the current state of privacy, the gig economy & ownership in a world of pervasive social media, surveillance, insecure employment and AI.
Probably the best dystopian future novel I have read since Neuromancer.

That’s a strong endorsement. Click, fifteen bucks spent, on the reading list it goes, right after I finish Stephenson’s Seveneves.

Was about to pick up Neuromancer this week when I saw it in a book store but still have too much to read currently.
Right now making my way through a bunch of Halo books, finished the Forerunner trilogy and Fall of Reach. Now onto The Flood. So far I found it the weakest of what I’ve read, the first half is mostly just the first Halo game through the eyes of Chief, some helldivers, captain Keyes. The fun twist is you get to see the Covenant’s perspective as well, I do like that a lot but if you’ve played Halo it doesn’t have many surprises.
Also reading through Robert A. Caro’s The Powerbroker right now.

I literally started my “Cyberpunk reading era” with that… I love it to no end.
It still holds up so well.
It’s convoluted for sure- but it’s the first book of the Sprawl trilogy and still probably the best trilogy Gibson wrote.
But I am biased. 
I wanted to live in one of those books for so long.

I’ve heard enough about it to know that it’s influential, Keanu Reeves played in a movie based on that IIRC and Billy Idol did a album inspired on it.
