Amazon MGM Studios is working on a TV adaptation of Iain M. Banks' science fiction novel Consider Phlebas. The book is part of Banks' Culture series, which
Every single Culture book would have to be it’s own limited series. I think Phlebas was probably chosen for the amount of action and the limited exposure to the Culture. The other books are going to be harder to adapt despite getting more love from fans.
