Time to re read the books or should I go with low expectations knowing that book adaptations don’t always translate well to big screen. Would be disappointing if they took liberal creative differences on the book content.
Remember I, robot? , wasn’t how I expected it from reading the book.
I haven't read the books - my understanding based on what I've read and some YT videos i've watched about them is the original books were written in the style of several men sitting around discussing things that are going on in the empire. By todays standards, the writing isn't great (so i'm told) - but it was groundbreaking on the SciFi side at the time. That doesn't translate to screen at all. Apple is most likely (and seems confirmed from the teasers) going to show the events, instead of describe them in that manner.... the entire series also takes place I believe over millennia... so how Apple will translate that to the screen is an unknown.
There are reasons this show had been contemplated for decades and no one ever was able to bring it to screen. It is very hard to adapt from the source material. It may be people who are true fans of the books may have trouble with any adaptation that makes the show interesting to everyone else.
