I have been meaning to buy another copy for myself this time, which I will do so quite soon.
I really enjoyed the threads when you first posted your insights out here.
As to the film, it seems unlikely that the book could be done justice, but I will pick up the 3rd DVD just as soon as it becomes available. The first two were interesting with the 21st century upgrades, but I agree that a cable mini series likely would have been the better route. Of course, we appreciate that the powers there are unlikely to be sympathetic to such a production, so we have this work which is better than nothing at all.
Buy five or ten copies for your friends. Start a reading circle and introduce people to “Atlas” with our book as the guide. (I’m just being shameless here.)
