- The unfaltering depiction of women as people. Every character in this book could be male or female and no one relies on "feminine wiles" or "masculine strength" to accomplish her or his ends.
I would love to see this filmed, although only by a producer and director committed to portraying the completely non-sensationalized approach to gender and sex of the book. It might also be difficult to keep the unveiling of the world's secrets compelling when the viewer can see immediately that the gems are microchips, etc.
