consider phlebas perhaps as an anthology adaptation would be the most viable for general appeal, but thats not really the culture material i want to see happen. pretty sure in a few years player of games could work as some sort of esports political intrigue show

i think you are right but both of those shows sound horrible

i think the main thing that i like about banks's writing is the way he makes it easy to imagine things that could not possibly exist or be coherently rendered by any reality-adjacent rendering engine; Lededje's infinitely intricate skin is fascinating and easy to imagine but there is absolutely no way to ever actually put it on a screen, same with Azad and the assassin cloud and probably hundreds of other extremely memorable scenes

Are there any good, pulpy sci fi books which aren't like super racist or something. noir will do as well

Company Town by Ashby fits this description I think and I liked it

also has the most authentic "using a ham radio" scene that i've ever seen in a film, just about, ever. She sets up what appears to be a Diamond HFV-5 dipole antenna which is very popular in Japan, tunes into a valid voice frequency on the 6 meter band on a radio that looks exactly like an Icom 7000, and uses what would be a valid (though fictional) Japanese call sign. i smiled so big

man thats cute as hell
