| Science fiction Some of my favorite Authors are: Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Iain M Banks, Joe Haldeman, Arthur C Clarke & Douglas Adams. If you're into Sci-fi, and like to think about the future and what it might hold for mankind and haven't read anything by Heinlein, then you're missing out! Some of his concepts are incredible. Fancy living for as long as you choose? Hopping between realities? Traveling through time? Delve into a world where you can meet a woman who was once a computer that ran a whole planet, by reading Heinlein books such as: 'To Sail beyond the Sunset', 'The Number of the Beast' and 'Time Enough for Love'. Perhaps you'd prefer to meet aliens and travel in a ship powered by improbability? Meet a robot named Marvin and see the end of the universe? - Well Douglas Adams' Hitch Hiker Guide to the Galaxy Series of books will allow you to do this and much more! Iain Banks has two sorts of books he writes.. sci-fi under the name Iain M Banks and his regular fiction which is a little weird for my taste under the name Iain Banks (no middle initial). Most of his Sci-fi books are set within 'The Culture' a future concept setting, where people and machines live in harmony, Spaceships can talk and have Minds of their own. If all this appeals to you then you'll probably find these books well worth a look. I'll try to add some details on some of the other Authors mentioned above soon, so keep an eye open for changes! |
