I think this book would make an excellent movie. I would usually pride myself on being able to visualize certain abstract concepts and pictures very well, especially anything on the "techie" side of things. But with this book I struggled to grasp a well rounded idea of what the author was trying to portray more than I have with any other story that has a strong focus on technology and the future. I do not necessarily attribute this fact to any judgment of mine about the author's writing skills; based upon the story he seems to have a firm base of what he wanted to express and and it would seem he articulated his points and concepts well, except I could not grasp them. It is more than likely this book requires another read-through for me at a slower pace, taking care to focus on the concepts I struggled with the first time. In any case, I think this book could be an incredibly visually stimulating film, where the futuristic and technological concepts could be represented beautifully. It might also be a more effective medium for those like me who struggled with visually representing aspects of the book in their head. Regardless, I think this book would make an excellent stand-alone movie, not necessarily to portray the books concepts in a different manner.
