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.

Player of Games has always been one of my favourite books. Would be great with big caveat - If done by someone who understand and appreciates the Lore
