I have a science fiction library of thousands of books.
Less than one tenth of one percent of them have been made into movies or other forms of entertainment.
Most have interesting ideas and plots, memorable characters—plenty to work with....
But none are woke.
I’ve thought for a long time that Jack Vance’s “Sea World” would make a terrific movie, as would “The Face.”
Loved 60s and 70s Sci fi
Youare just the person —my father was an avid sci fi reader....lots of paperback stuff—complete novels and story collections, etc.... There was a story complete with illustrations about the developement of warbots—manned and perhaps later un manned machines that were not unlike the later Star Wars manned war bots...
This story came out in the 60s and was part of a collection of storys. There were “magazines back the day that had several stories featuring up and coming sci fi writers, etc.
Perhaps you remember the story and could point me in the direction as to its title and writer.
