I almost choked on my sandwich. Neal Stephenson’s The Diamond Age, or A Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer, is apparently on its way to a TV adaptation. Now, this is one of the seminal books on nanotechnology, a story so utterly cool that the mere thought of bringing it to the TV medium makes my head ache. And the producer? George Clooney.

I don’t know whether to laugh maniacally in anticipation or cry tears of deepest sorrow. I think I’ll just concentrate on finishing my sandwich.
