Station Eleven TV series!

Maniac showrunner to adapt Emily St John-Mandel's Station Eleven for TV

I didn't care for Maniac, but I'm hoping this'll be better. I loved the novel - a very Canadian post-apocalypse, where everyone is starting to piece things together again and work together rather than kill each other for fuel, centered around a traveling Shakespeare company travelling from settlement to settlement as civilisation begins to tentatively bounce back. I could see a very good TV series coming out of this if it's handled right.

I have not heard of the book. Thanks how different, helping each other vs turning instantly into a raping murdering mob like most post-apocalyptic novels.

I absolutely loved the book. It's very highly recommended.

I know. It's such a profoundly humane novel. I really hope they will stick to that.

good to know. the whole dystopic thing is one of the reasons I've shied away from SFF lately
