'Darwin's Children' to be tv series

[dwndrgn]

I know that Greg Baer is a respected author but I don't recall reading any of his works. Aparently a favorite is now to be made into a tv series by the SciFi Channel:

From the article:

SCI FI Channel announced a partnership with producer and former studio executive Michael De Luca (Blade) to develop the original miniseries Darwin's Children, based on SF author Greg Bear's best-selling books. De Luca's first-ever TV project, based on Bear's Darwin's Radio and Darwin's Children, explores what happens when the next step of human evolution becomes a threat to humanity's existence

I've read the Darwin books - they're actually among his most recent - and agree they'd make a fine tv series. Well delineated characters, a very near-future setting and a timeless but very originally handles theme, in its scientific, political, social and human implications.

Sounds good. Let's hope they do it justice.

I've actually never read any Greg Bear stuff (or many other modern authors). Perhaps it's about time I evolved out of my own 'Golden Age' and read some recent Sci Fi

I've read "Darwin's Radio", but haven't gotten to "Darwin's Children" yet. From what I recall of the first book, which I liked a lot, this story would probably make a fine TV series.
