I have noticed that every book I read is made into a movie shortly thereafter. Now, I know what you're thinking...that just about every popular book is made into a movie nowadays so it just follows logically that this would happen.
That's mostly true, but I just now started reading a book that I have wanted to read for many years, Neuromancer by William Gibson. It's supposed to be a visionary book, way ahead of its time:
“Neuromancer tells the story of Case, an out-of-work computer hacker hired by an unknown patron to participate in a seemingly impossible crime. The novel examines the concepts of artificial intelligence, virtual reality, genetic engineering, multinational corporations overpowering the traditional nation-state, and cyberspace long before these ideas became fashionable in popular culture.”
Once again I have found, just this morning, that they are making a movie version and it's coming out next year.
But the weird thing is, this book was written in 1984.
I've got nothing if not good timing.
