I’ve often wanted a movie/series based on the Dragonlance books or the Dark Elf trilogy. What would you all like to see done if you had the ability to do it?

    I’m kinda in this boat too. I’m glad Banks’ estate didn’t let the Amazon series go through. Something about a guy like Bezos hailing the books while being a billionaire capitalist egomaniac just makes me uneasy with the whole idea.

      Post-scarcity communism is fine. I’d actually consider the culture just lib, not even left or right. It’s a totally voluntary society. Except maybe for some special circumstances.

        Post-scarcity communism is fine.

        Post scarcity makes labels like communism/capitalism meaningless. They are both systems to deal with the scarcity of resources.

        One of the best lines in Bank’s work to describe this is from LTW:

        “Money is a sign of poverty”

        Ie: A society that needs money to apportion scarce resources is always poor as there is never enough to go around.
