List the best sci-fi novels that should become movies. By "sci-fi", I mean a novel that would take place 100 years or more in the future in a futuristic society, as opposed to something like K-Pax or The Thing.
My nomination is:
The Mote In God's Eye
I thought that was an awesome book, but it's Malthusian premise and the very notion that overpopulation could ever be a serious problem is very politically incorrect.

The story is set in the distant future of Pournelle's CoDominium universe, and charts the first contact between humanity and an alien species. ...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mote_in_god's_eye#cite_note-WWE-1975-1 Robert A. Heinlein, who gave the authors extensive advice on the novel, described the story as "possibly the finest science fiction novel I have ever read".
