      Oh shit. The Baroque Cycle getting the Game of Thrones treatment… minus the executive meddling.

        You wouldn’t even have to obsess over the history, alchemy, etc., just don’t fuck it up. People get too wrapped around an axle thinking every single infodump has to be there. Stephenson’s got issues (coughendingscough), but the stories are informed by the same research as the infodumps, and they’ll hold up well.

      Seveneves is coming as a series. Not sure if they could pull off Baroque, but I’m game. I’d love a Snow Crash film.

        Typing that comment made me do my semi-annual check for adaptations, and I just saw that announcement came out a couple of weeks ago. Hope it comes along better than the movie that got stuck in development hell.
