- Toenex 14y agoI hope I live in the universe where this happens.
- jpxxx 14y agoUntil 'Cloud Atlas' happened out of the blue, I'd no hope.
- Tycho 14y agoMaybe the Ender's Game movie will open the gate for Player of Games.
- javajosh 14y agoAgreed. The problem is that mainstream SF movies have not nearly caught up with written SF. I mean, The Matrix was "mind-blowing" in it's day, even when the idea of simulated universes was old hat in written SF. Banks has basically crammed, well, everything into the Culture books. When just the idea of uploading phases people you'll have a hard time explaining why a sentient Ship would cocoon a human body in another sentient gel-field suit in order to rescue the image of an old scientist that is currently experiencing the slow time of a truly ancient race of creatures that count time in galactic rotations. Etc. I mean, we're talking about a universe where self-replicating nano-bots are considered a joke (or at least a pleasurable pastime for warships for target practice). Meanwhile grey goo scenarios haven't even entered the zeitgeist.
