Enjoyed attending WindyCon, this past weekend. Met a load of fans, and was on several panels. The 1st one, "Please Note, Post-Apocalyptic Books Have Been Moved to Current Affairs," was a hoot. One thing I noticed was the repeated discussion of the big, scary AI Menace in almost all settings. Not a Luddite (or a Neo-Luddite), but I'm beginning to see what got them upset. 😉
The final panel, Hey Hollywood -Try Reading a Book, was well attended, with a number of knowledgeable fans. Each came with a list of books they'd like to see on the screen (and few they wish hadn't been made into movies). If curious, here's my list, below. They seem to divide into 2 categories, "Visual that would look great on screen) and "Great stories."
Visual:
- Cities In Flight, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
- Orbitsville, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
- Ringworld, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
Great Stroies
- A Gift From Earth, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
- We Are Legion, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
- Terms of Enlistment, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
- The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
- Glory Road, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Interesting that there was controversy around Glory Road. Some people hate this book, and some love it.
