The Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee.
Snow Crash.
There's a book called Robopocalypse where an AI gains sentience and then takes control of basically all robotics/anything connected to the internet to take over the world and I'd love to see that as a mini series.
Choose Your Own Adventure
Children of time, but as a scifi miniseries.
Magic Kingdom of Landover
The Grand Tour novels from Ben Bova. All about mankinds spread into the solar system. There are some anachronisms here and there that would need to be ironed out, and plenty of continuity errors to fix, but overall a very exciting series of stories.
V. E. Schwab - the Invisible Life of Adie LaRue would be amazing. Classic cursed immortal living through the ages, but without vampires!
The Hike by Drew Magary
Slightly off topic, but the latest episode of the What Went Wrong podcast is about the adaptation of American Psycho from novel to film and I'm quite enjoying it.
Honor Harrington might be good on a big screen in the present political climate. (Female lead plus a cat)
The myth adventures might be right for a different flavor of comedy.
Karsa Orlong would say: Witness.
Repairman Jack. But reserve the supernatural stuff at the end of the seasons. I just want to watch his "repairs"
The Temeraire series by Naomi Novik.
"Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates" by Tom Robbins. I always thought Phillip Seymour Hoffman would be the perfect protagonist.
A book called The Land of Laughs by Jonathan Carroll.
Zero. It totally destroys everything about a book. I have found though that horrible series can make good TV. Like Twilight or Dexter or Harry Potter. Horribly written trash but popular with those in the center of the bell curve.
