How about "sixth column" by heinlein? that would be great. a big underground cave like zion in the matrix. have you seen the movie version of by his bootstraps? it was actually pretty good. i think musk would like to see the man who solld the moon made as a thinly veiled biopic about him haha he has the harriman ego
macroscope by piers anthon;y
goldfish bowl (the dead past) by asimov
the business', by iain banks, i think player of games is in the works!
'ubik' by phil dick. it would need a really great director though
'the fifth science' by xurb1a -messages from the future! you could make like a dozen movies just from one chapter of that guy
i bet theyre going to do a movie of the laundry files by charilie stross someday try and start off big series but then never make a sequil haha
as for movies they have made from books "the portable door" from tom holt is new movie released on my to watch, looks pretty good actually, i'm hopeful!
looks like your in luck https://deadline.com/2022/08/chad-stahel...235095335/ i havent heard of the book but it looks slappin added to my readlist thanks!
i first read this as 'litrpg' which is a genre like rpg video games in a narative with stats and classes and levels and such and it made me think this would be a fun way to watch a recon infiltrate story, from the pov of the squad. i bet in twenty years theres a movie genre that tries to combine visual narative with litrpg with those gamer streams milenials seem to love watching, hollywood'll find the nostalga money irresistable i bet but they'll probably stink it up unless theres some genius directors-to-be in genalpha, wow that would be nice our culture needs it

Always thought this would make a fantastic movie! What these LRRPs did, and what they endured, is just an incredible story. (LRRP stood for 'Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol') Not even the Navy SEAL teams do stuff like this. The way Linderer writes; you were there, living it, right next to these guys.
