Fuck ebooks: I want to write fiction for the Allosphere:
...a house-sized ball of data viz at that allows researchers to literally get inside their information. Choice AlloSphere projects so far have included examinations of how hydrogen atoms bond together and a giant model of the brain derived from fMRI scans. Up to 30 people can fit on the catwalk, and they get silly-looking glasses and wireless joysticks to mess around with the streaming imagery. Dozens of speakers play sound into the echo-free chamber. The result is psychedelia with research applications.Doug Liman's new film might be based on the Hiroshi Sakurazaka novel All You Need Is Kill. I don't know if that's Sakurazaka's or the translator's title but shame on the publishing bodysnatchers who have revived the Bond novels for not thinking of it first. The previous post-Fleming Bond novel was called Devil May Care, which sounds like the crawl for a Sex & The City movie.
All You Need Is Kill has been adapted by the also fantastically named Dante Harper. In my post-Fleming remake Dante Harper would be Bond's leggy antagonist and the villain of course would be Miss Zunshine. The novel would pick up years after 007's death when a stranger claiming to be Bond turns up and starts picking off his colleagues and associates from the old days. The bad guys would be from MEME. That's how I'd do it, anyway.
ADDENDUM:
An essential element of any Bond novel was the chapter titles which would get the novel going before you'd even started reading it. For All You Need Is Kill (working title only) the titles would go:- JAMES JAMES
- SOMETHING STIRS IN THE JUNGLE
- END OF THE Q
- US AND M
- MISS MONEYPENNY REGRETS
- MAY I BORROW YOUR LEITER?
- HOT TIMES IN JAMAICA
- HARMONY CAKE
- GOOD MORNING ZUNSHINE
- SINK SHE SAID
- DANTE'S INFERNO
- TWITTER TWITTER LITTLE MEME
- DOUBLE O HOUR
- ONE LAST THING
