Austral by Paul McAuley
In 2021, Variety reported that this climate-change thriller from Philip K. Dick and Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author and botanist Paul McAuley had been picked up for an “epic series adaptation.” No major updates since then, but it’s got a great premise, following “an edited person adapted to the unforgiving climate of the far south, feared and despised by most of its population” who commits a desperate crime and must go on the run amid the harsh landscape of the world’s newest nation, the Antarctic Peninsula.
