1) You are broke and have been offered a wheelbarrow full of cash for the rights to make a 'Blindsight' movie. How would it work? Casting? Budget? Hollywood film or a 3-part telemovie on Syfy? Pacing? Cuts/edits? I've always imagined the torture of Stretch/Clench being great material for a powerful movie scene.
2) You are still broke and have been offered a fedora full of cash for the rights to make a videogame version of 'Blindsight'. How would that work? Genre? Compromises to the plot to incorporate more action and puzzle-solving? VR/Oculus Rift technothriller spin-off game set in 'Heaven'??
I first read Blindsight several years ago when I was still in university. At that point I'd stopped reading science fiction for quite a while and 'Blindsight' and 'Accelerando' were two books that I'd decided to give a go. I was absolutely blown away by both. I'm a busy voodoo practitioner now (uhh... psychologist)... but I still find time to re-read Blindsight at least once every year. Really really looking forward to reading Echopraxia!!!

Hi Pete,
Two questions:
1) You are broke and have been offered a wheelbarrow full of cash for the rights to make a 'Blindsight' movie. How would it work? Casting? Budget? Hollywood film or a 3-part telemovie on Syfy? Pacing? Cuts/edits? I've always imagined the torture of Stretch/Clench being great material for a powerful movie scene.
2) You are still broke and have been offered a fedora full of cash for the rights to make a videogame version of 'Blindsight'. How would that work? Genre? Compromises to the plot to incorporate more action and puzzle-solving? VR/Oculus Rift technothriller spin-off game set in 'Heaven'??
