I’m currently re-reading Dan Simmons’ Hyperion Cantos, and something struck me. If this had been made into an HBO/… show, like, 8 years ago, it could have been a genre- and generation defining TV event akin to Game of Thrones.
But if it was to be produced today? It would be a cringe, plastic-feeling knock-off akin to Netflix’ Last Airbender.
