Truly we live in the Golden Age of television, at least for fantasy and science-fiction fans, with shows like The Game of Thrones, The Man in the High Castle, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, Black Mirror, and so many others, available these days.
And soon Altered Carbon will be coming to the small screen via Netflix.
I really enjoyed Richard Morgan's "Takeshi Kovacs" novels when I read them a decade ago. My memory of them is now somewhat fuzzy, but I still recall the main ideas, especially for the first story. I think that Altered Carbon could make for a great series.
Now if only someone would do something with Iain Banks's amazing "Culture" novels...
AKRATIC WIZARDRY: A blog wherein I scribble about role-playing games (Mythras, Against the Darkmaster, Dungeons & Dragons [esp. old school], Swords & Wizardry, Into the Unknown, Middle-earth Role-playing, Lord of the Rings Role-playing, Adventures in Middle-Earth, Crypts & Things, Call of Cthulhu, etc.) and RPG settings (Middle-earth, Cthulhu Mythos, Greyhawk, Lyonesse, Ukrasia, etc.). I also write about fantasy and science-fiction films, novels, art, TV shows, and the like.
