adelaideseanI'm coming to this late, but still...
Greg Bear's novel Eon blew my mind when it came out in 1985. Tapping into the same vein as Gateway, Orbitsville and Rendezvous with Rama,* it inspired me to write Echoes of Earth and Geodesica. I haven't read Eon for a while, but my appreciation of it is undimmed.
Now you can watch trailers of the non-existent movie based on the book, made as part of a CG competition with the author's blessing.
The thought of The Way making it off the page and onto a wall somewhere sends goosebumps down my arms--but not on the big screen, I pray. Give the book a miniseries, at least, with a big budget and a director who actually gives a toss about science. This masterpiece of SF deserves that much.
* And like all of these titles, imho, also the source of several inferior sequels.
