2018-08-02 Science Fiction

@alex asked about recommendations for Science Fiction books. I’d say: start with some classics? Maybe Frank Herbert’s Dune is a good place to start. I’d also read a William Gibson, e.g. Neuromancer; an Ian M. Banks like The Use of Weapons; an Charles Stross like Singularity Sky; an Octavia E. Buttler like Lilith’s Brood; a M. John Harrison like Nova Swing; a David Brin like Startide Rising; a Bruce Sterling like Schismatrix. But I’m stuck somewhere in the eighties with my SciFi, I fear...

@alex

I guess one should also read an Isaac Asimov, a Robert Heinlein? So many white men... Somebody link me to some good Science Fiction books from the last years?

I think the only one I read which is recent is Tobias Klausmann’s Slingshot.

Ich mag „The Martian Chronicle“ sehr, etwa 1950 geschrieben.

Ja, *The Forever War* war wirklich gut weil die Zeitverzerrung so richtig zur Geltung kam.
