@RamonVillalobos It’s a pretty quick read as I recall. I read it way back then but it made an impression on me. The novelist, Alex Garland, went on to write a lot of film and tv. Sunshine, 28 Days Later, Dredd, Ex Machina, Annihilation.

Before Ex-Machina, Dredd, Annihilation, screenplays for 28 Days Later, Sunshine, and Never Let Me Go, credits in Devil May Cry & Enslaved, and the $1 mil script for a Halo movie, he wrote The Beach. Alex Garland, 📸 from my interview in a San Francisco bookstore in 1998. https://t.co/eR2oOwLVW0

By the way, Alex Garland's career is unreal: He wrote "The Beach," a novel which became a movie with DiCaprio. Decided to write screenplays next. 28 Days Later, Sunshine, and DREDD. Tried directing next: Ex Machina, Annihilation, DEVS (criminally under appreciated), MEN.
