5 fictional sci-fi books that ought to be made into films!



This one is just an all time classic. - some really mind bending stuff - & totally unique - the plot moves along very swiftly as if very often the case with Vogt storylines - and so always keeps you excited - would be interesting to see how a filmmaker would appraoch the idea of the 'tendrils'






This one - very atypical PKD - in the sense of peeling back the successive layers of reality to reveal yet further ones. Also lots in the way of counter culture and anti government rhetoric/ethos. Also just when you think things are going so very lousy coming towards the end, well it turns out to be not so bad after all!






This would just be great for all of the action. - also some of the characters are very strong.






Well big in cope this one, possibly very hard to film, its gets very abstract at times, what with cyber killer bots inhabiting peoples brains that later manifest as etheric like spirits.
Features some remarkably efficient and deadly ways of killing fellow officers on gigantic space huggers...basically get in touch with the on board computer that controls the navigation of the ship, make sure that you yourself are fully secured (strapped in real tight to a chair or something to that effect), then proceed to instruct the comp. to engage in extreme sudden acceleration followed by then an instant halt - thereby all other flight passengers not properly secured would be utterly squashed upon impact as a result of being catapulted into corridor metal walls.







Well again very action packed, but also lots of psychic, telekinetic goings on, which makes for some interesting standoffs between folk that are trying to get the upper hand over each other - yet using merely the power of their brains to achieve that end!
