Greetings!

Roko called, just to say he’s filed a trademark on Basilisk™ and will be coming after anyone who talks about it for licensing fees which will go into his special Basilisk™ Immanetization Fund and if we don’t pay up we’ll burn in AI hell forever once the Basilisk™ wakes up and gets around to punishing us.

Also, if you see your mom, be sure and tell her SATAN!!!—

    There was a Consider Phlebas TV series in planning at Amazon, which was canned, thankfully.

    thank fuck. my faith in Amazon making anything but an embarrassing pseudo-adaptation was pretty much zero

    Banks would have pissed all over these people (or rather written a non-M novel skewering them).

    exactly, that’s why these assholes waited til he was dead to try and appropriate his work

    Do NOT read any HN discussions of SF you like if you value your faith in humanity

    the only value in sf discussions on the orange site is as material to sneer at on TechTakes

      Didn’t Amazon do a reasonable job on The Expanse? And they seem not to have screwed up Good Omens (admittedly not science fiction).

      That said, I think Against A Dark Background might be better for a series.
