Not a book exactly, but East of West would make for some great narrative and world building.

There's a book called Robopocalypse where an AI gains sentience and then takes control of basically all robotics/anything connected to the internet to take over the world and I'd love to see that as a mini series.

Children of time, but as a scifi miniseries.

The Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee.

There already has been a movie (L.A. Confidential), which is one of my favourite movies of all time. But to get it on the screen required a lot of rewriting to fit a complex weave of plots that intersect and takes 10 years to resolve. It was brilliantly done for what it was, but it left a LOT on the floor.

I would love love love to see an HBO or similar series that is as true to the novel by James Ellroy as it could possibly be.

Zero. It totally destroys everything about a book. I have found though that horrible series can make good TV. Like Twilight or Dexter or Harry Potter. Horribly written trash but popular with those in the center of the bell curve.

The Temeraire series by Naomi Novik.

The Gap Cycle series

LOL IDK how you would do the first book or even touch on that part of the books (because it makes them very very hard to suggest let alone reread) but once you got to the singularity bomb at the science space station deep in a dense asteroid field.... I wanna see that part. The emotions that the story creates in the characters is pretty primal and believable. Its an interesting story how each of the main characters goes through the same level of violation but in different ways
