>>18172183its literally posted all the time on /tv/ as the only book that truly can not be adapted. we would never get severian's description of the "fully arnored man with reflective visor with no ventilation holding a strange stiff banner" we would just see pic related.
most of the beauty of the book is severian trying to describe our tech with no words to describe them with.
you probably missed the part where Master Gurloes talks with "the mouthless voices" that come from a machine - a radio.
