Diamond Age on the Idiot Box
Neal Stephenson’s Diamond Age is going to be made into a TV miniseries! It’s one of the very few books I’ve read twice and enjoyed both times. My only hope is that the producer/director steers clear of making it overly cheesy. Clooney did a pretty good job with Good Night and Good Luck, so I feel relatively confident about it. Now if only I could find a way to just get that one show, without having to get a subscription to anything, or having to wait for DVDs to be released.
This is one of my favorite books. Certainly in the top ten anyways. I’m always interested to see what people envisioned when they read books. And these days there shouldn’t be and technical problems with creating something that looks exactly the way movie makers want it to.Although I’m usually disappointed with books to movies so I have mixed emotions about this.
