CARNIVAL TO TURN JAMES SMYTHE'S NOVEL INTO SERIES

Harper Collins released the book last week

Downton Abbey, Last Kingdom and Jamestown producers Carnival Films are set to turn dystopian novel I STILL DREAM by James Smythe into a TV series. It follows 17 year old Laura Bow who has invented a rudimentary artificial intelligence Organon. At first it’s intended to be a sounding board for her teenage frustrations, a surrogate best friend; but as she grows older, Organon grows with her. As the world becomes a very different place, technology changes the way we live, love and die; massive corporations develop rival intelligences to Laura’s, ones without safety barriers or morals; and Laura is forced to decide whether to share her creation with the world. If it falls into the wrong hands, she knows, its power could be abused. But what if Organon is the only thing that can stop humanity from hurting itself irreparably?
