Book to movie, 8: Join
Every four weeks, I will be writing about a book that I think could make a great movie. In the world of Join , humans can choose to link consciousnesses. This allows those who are joined to share experiences, to never be alone, and to never truly die. But two joins uncover that something is deeply wrong with the technology, and they must race to find a solution. Join is, admittedly, at times, convoluted. But this can be narrowed for a movie. Besides, the complexities don't outweigh the deep questions that Join asks. Join made readers think about the meaning of humanity and connection, and a film version would be no different. This combination of compelling plot and poignant themes is a winning one for a movie. You can read my quick review of Join here . Join by Steve Toutonghi, Soho Press
