Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars books to be adapted for TV – Cory Doctorow
The books, which are among the best science fiction ever written, have been picked up by Game of Thrones co-producer Vince Gerardis, which bodes very well for the adaptation.

Darren Aronofsky To Helm Margaret Atwood’s MaddAddam Trilogy For HBO
(via shortlist.com)
Darren Aronofsky looks to have acquired an appetite for the disastrous – and no, that’s not a statement on Noah.
Word comes from Deadline that the director of the biblical epic is looking to helm a miniseries adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s MaddAddam trilogy for HBO.
Set in a dystopian mid-21st century world that has been raved by obscure event, Atwood’s trilogy (Oryx and Crake, The Year of the Flood and MaddAddam) is a heady blend of speculative fiction and adventure. Centring on an extensive cast of characters from the corporations who caused the disaster and those caught up in surviving, Atwood’s work appears ripe for a twisting, turning big budget miniseries.
The author herself is attached to serve as consulting producer, while Aronofsky himself could direct.
