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.

I just finished Pines -- the first book of the Wayward Pines trilogy -- and wow, it gets really, really good in the last 80 pages or so.

I'm writing this because I'm retracting my previous statement about 'weak source material'. I'm diving into "Wayward", the second book of the trilogy, so I'm hoping that the story is well developed.

The idea itself, while not 100% original, is great. And the author puts in an epilogue where he describes what he was trying to do -- no spoilers here... He was trying to re-create the magic of Twin Peaks, and he did a pretty great job.
