Sci Fi Channel Teams up with Clooney for Diamond Age
One of the Sci Fi Channel’s latest offerings is a six-hour miniseries and the channel has teamed with George Clooney who will serve as an executive producer, along with his business partner, Grant Heslov.
The mini series is based on a book by author Neal Stephenson’s entitled “The Diamond Age: Or a Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer.” The author is set to adapt the book for the channel, the first time Stephenson has worked on TV.
The story is set in a Victorian age that is intertwined with aspects of greater technology such as nanotechnology.
The story centers around a young street urchin called Nell who illicitly receives a copy of an interactive book that helps her overcome her lack of education and poor background. The book was meant to go to a girl of better social standing.
