Might be a good tv series. Will be at least three seasons if it makes it.

I love the illustration of the cradle.

Sigh... why would they make 3 seasons of a book that one reads in a few
days? It will only be like the Hobbit a long and tedious wait between
actual scenes from the book. =(

But I do think that seveneves fits perfectly in the current times of trans
and woke:ism, as well as exploring questions about survival. I think it
will be a big hit with the progressive crowd!

You are turning what Peter Jackson did into a Universal Law. Of
course, that was 3 movies rather than 3 seasons.

Then again, considering the few online series I have watched ... the
same could, I think, be said of even one season.

This is true. Mostly, if we look at one shot movies, I am disappointed by
them too most of the times.

Yes!

I made it three seasons since there are three parts to the book.  Now, two >> years from now, and 5,000 years from now.

I personally think its one of Stephenson's weakest works. Too much
stuff is made unnecessarily implausible without even an attempt
at explanation.

There is a some really neat worldbuilding, but by the time we got
there, my WSOD was completely gone.

pt

I found the book alright. 3.5 out of 5. Too much descriptions, but that is Stephensons style, so by only reading quotes, the book became much better.
;)

Early Stephenson the diamond age, cryptonomicon, and a third one I don't
recall at the moment, are my favourites.

_Snow Crash_?

Yes! Thank you very much, you scratched my itch! I think Snow crash or the diamond age would be nice mini-series on TV. Woulde definitely watch those
if they could keep it short.

Perhaps only UK producers are the only ones in the world who can resist the temptation to make TV-series without an end?

Not science fiction, but I think the UK as a movie nation did an excellent
job adapting John le Carrés the night manager.
