Would it? I read game of thrones, then could not get into the tv show, just doesn't compare. For good sci fi watch The Expanse, that has the depth and awesomeness of a book. Although I haven't read the books, perhaps if I had read them first the show would not have had the same effect. West world was pretty good though.
I just finished reading the reality dysfunction from Peter F Hamilton, that is some epic (20 hour) movie material. 1100 pages of amazing sc-fi and it's only book one of the Night's dawn trilogy. The problem is, it would take a billion dollars to make lol. Plus movies / tv shows wouldn't know how to deal with affinity and data vising (sort of like telepathy) A picture might be worth a thousand words, but it can't describe thought processes very well. Dune has a lot of internal dialogue, I wonder how it works in this version.

The expanse books are so much better than the show. The show has some interesting ideas thrown in and, I can understand some aspects and decisions the show decided to go with. But ultimately the books pacing and story (even though the main story arch is almost the same) is much better. Amos's actor sucks.

I figured, yet reading them now already has the tv show characters in my head. The books are on my list anyway, still got a lot of Peter F. Hamilton to go through first. Currently reading Pandora's star. The show was also cancelled and now picked up by someone else so not expecting much of it anymore. And yeah Amos never really fit in.
