If you could adapt any sci-fi book into a show or movie (guaranteed not to have any modern day garbage) what would you pick?

First ones off the top of my head would be UBIK by Phillip K Dick or either Stranger in a Strange Land or JOB by Heinlein.

Consider Phlebas or Player of Games. Both great sci-fi books by Iain Banks. Consider Phlebas would be an epic action/adventure, bordering on space opera. Player of Games is... I dunno how to describe it. Genius enters contest on far away alien planet sponsered by future version of CIA, on the premise of diplomatic outreach, but you know there's more to it.

I'd love a game set in the Culture universe. Not necessarily based directly on any of the books, but a new story told in the same universe. A Mass Effect style RPG but that fits the style and tone of the books.

However there's not a single existing dev today I'd trust not to completely fuck this up, so I hope it doesn't happen anytime soon.
