Just finished that book last week it was pure kino, echophraxia not so much.

If you read it you'd know, there's parts in that book where I had to put it down a walk around for a bit it's that good, book is top shelf sci-fi horror I don't even want it made into a movie.

women write vampires:
>they gonna be sparkly, romantic and pretty; prince charming with fangs :3
men write vampires:
>they're gonna fucking rape you in space and there's absolutely nowhere to run or hide

>A crew of highly modified humans is sent to investigate an alien signal at the edge of the solar system—only to discover a form of intelligence that may be vastly superior to humans precisely because it isn’t conscious.
Pretty sure sexhaver normies love it, being barely conscious themselves.

Because you're a manchild
Manchild-Core is masculine-oriented genre slop that's slightly better than shit like sanderson and airport reading material so it allows midwit manchildren who want to appear literary, cultured and intelligent to appear so without putting the effort into reading difficult material.
if you're a manchild who can't read poetry, or literature written before the year 1900 then you'll flock to shit like wolfe and mccarthy and tolkien because it's like your favorite dark souls vidya or warhammer slop and uses babby's first literary techniques like unreliable narrator and lets you feel like you're a based intellectual.
>Oooooh... what's this? A book written in the last 50 years that has blood and gore and violence and esotericism?
>I'm literally so deep and intellectual, under my incel veneer I can enchant any woman if only they got to know me and my dark triad jungian nietzchean based tradcath traditionalist spirit
>btw i act like patrick bateman despite being 290 lbs but its ok because sam hyde does it and he's my idol and totally not a loser

That's a lot of projection, I enjoy sci-fi and novels are by far the best medium for it,

I read the book maybe a month ago. It's not that good. I'm now on children of time which is probably 2x the book that blindsight is.

literally unadaptable
to make it a decently paced movie you would have to cut out all the scientific exposition and smooth out all the edges, turning it into a mildly interesting typical first-contact movie
if you tried to make a faithful adaptation it would have to be extremely methodical to the point of sluggishness and contain zero even slightly relatable or sympathetic characters. at the budget it would require there would be no chance of even returning the investment.

some books just don't work as movies and that's ok

>>219207828
you should check out the revelation space series by alistair reyonlds, I've been meaning to read tchaikovsky stuff but the man is prolific, and was looking for a good place to start, i'll give children of time a read.
