5 must-read sci-fi novels that made the leap to screen
With the rapid advancement of science and technology, we are gradually inching closer to the realities depicted in science fiction media. Exploring a wide array of themes and ideas like cyborgs, AI, and extraterrestrial beings, the popularity of science fiction media has seen a surge. However, sci-fi media does not only depict new realities, but ultimately also makes us question what these realities would mean for us. An exploration of the world, but also an exploration of humanity, here are a few sci-fi novels with screen adaptations that urge us to interrogate ourselves as well as the world around us: The inspiration behind Blade Runner, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is set in a post-apocalyptic future where most humans have migrated to other planets. The novel follows Rick Deckard, a bounty hunter tasked with eliminating rogue androids on Earth that are nearly indistinguishable from humans. Each interaction with an android progressively blurs the boundaries between them and humans. The novel is set in a world where androids are empathetic and humans emotionally detached, ultimately leading to the question what it means to be human. Written by Liu Cixin, the first book in the Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy, The Three-Body Problem (Head of Zeus, pages 448, Rs 374), is one of the most distinguished sci-fi novels from the 21st century. The premise of the novel involves humans coming into contact with an alien civilisation for the first time. However, instead of just focusing on the hard science, the novel also delves into the philosophical and socio-political consequences of this discovery, including ethical dilemmas and political uprisings. The novel got adapted into a series by Netflix in 2024, with its second season currently in the works. Stainslaw Rem's Solaris (Faber & Faber, pages 224, Rs 1035), considered a sci-fi classic, inspired two movies with corresponding titles including the film directed by the auteur, Andrei Tarkovsky. The novel follows a crew of scientists on a space station attempting to understand the extraterrestrial intelligence that takes the form of a vast ocean in the planet Solaris. During their investigation, they are haunted by their past memories, forcing them to first confront themselves and their experiences. The novel contemplates whether we can understand what lies outside without understanding what lies within us first. This collection of short stories includes Story of Your Life, the inspiration behind the film Arrival. Stories of Your Life and Others (Vintage Books, pages 304, Rs 1584) by Ted Chiang integrates hard science and philosophy to construct narratives with emotional depth. The stories explore the human condition through experiments involving language, time, belief, etc. Chiang explores these various themes with relation to humanity and human relationships. Klara and the Sun (Faber & Faber, pages 352, Rs 599) is authored by the Nobel Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro. The novel is narrated by Klara, an Artificial Friend who waits in a store to be chosen by a human. Klara eventually gets picked to be a companion to a teenage girl with health issues and is adamant on understanding and helping her. Klara and the Sun contemplates on uncertainties like who can love, and does it matter who loves. A movie adaptation of Klara and the Sun is currently underway, reportedly directed by Taika Waititi.

Maareesan box office prediction day 1: Fahadh Faasil's Tamil comedy thriller likely to earn Rs 5 crore in India
Maareesan box office prediction day 1: Maareesan, starring Fahadh Faasil, is set to hit the screens on July 25, and this has created a buzz in the industry. The comedy thriller has become the talk of Kollywood as it will see the Vikram star share screen space with Vadivelu for the second time. They were last seen together in the well received Maamannan (2023). This excitement is set to help Maareesan open to a good response at the Indian box office. Maareesan set to open well in India Fahadh Faasil is in the limelight because of his latest Tamil film Maareesan. According to Ramesh Bala, a trade analyst, the comedy thriller is likely to collect Rs 5 crore (nett) in India on the first day. 'For this film, I feel a collection of Rs 5 crore is possible. Of this Rs 3 crore will come from Tamil Nadu. On the other hand, Kerala will contribute around Rs 1 crore as it is Fahadh's home state,' he told Indiatimes. If this prediction holds, Maareesan will fail to beat Maamannan. The Maari Selvaraj-directed political thriller earned Rs 8.5 crore on the first day and went on to emerge as a commercial success. Maareesan is Fahadh Faasil's fourth Tamil film. He previously appeared in Super Deluxe, Vikram and of course Maamannan. Maareesan OTT release: Where to watch after its run in theatres Maareesan will premiere on Netflix after its run in theatres. The platform acquired its rights a while ago. While the exact date is yet to be revealed, it may premiere on the platform nearly four weeks after hitting the screens tomorrow. This means we can expect it on OTT by the end of August. About Maareesan Maareesan is an upcoming Tamil comedy-thriller directed by Sudheesh Sankar, with Fahadh Faasil in the lead. It centres on Dhaya, a small-time thief who chances upon an elderly man, Velayudham (played by Vadivelu) and comes up with a plan to con him. Fate, however, has other plans as the two develop a bond during a road trip across Tamil Nadu. Kovai Sarala plays a key role in the film, adding another layer to the plot. The music is composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja.
