Dear Hollywood studios: a wonderful material for Sci-Fi Action film

Dear Hollywood studios:

  I have to tell you about a book. It is a wonderful material for a Sci-Fi action film. Get this book and read it. And I bet that you will be want to start adaptation of this novel.

The Blind Watchmaker
  Summary: In the future, it is common to add artificial parts to human bodies. more memories, device of sense, power or even weapons. Only natural brains of their own remained, it is regarded as a human being. However, a dead body found with its brain has been stolen. Same kind of murder case again and again. The detective who is investigating these cases come to face unexpected truth and danger.

  This novel's title is "The blind watchmaker". Same title as the book by the renowned scientist Richard Dawkins. Maybe because this novel is co-written by a writer and a scientist. Maybe the scientist admired Dawkins' work. As Dawkins questioned about the idea 'intelligent design' of creationism, this novel make us to think deep about how can we define human even if our body is replaced by artificial parts. What do we say about brains with enhancement. Can a humanoid with free will considered same as human being. Some say these kind of questions are already expressed in the famous movie 'Blade Runner' starring Harrison Ford. But this is different. It is much more action packed thriller. You can say that the 'Blade Runner' is philosophical like 'Apocalypse Now', and this novel delivers its theme by realistic story like 'Platoon'. Co-written by a writer and a scientist, fast reading and something to think about. You will love it.
