We asked New Scientist staff to pick their favourite science fiction books. Here are the results, ranging from 19th-century classics to modern day offerings, and from Octavia E. Butler to Iain M. Banks
This is an interesting list. It's missing some of the true great classics, like Frankenstein, and it has a number of unusual, less well known titles, but there's a lot to like on it. There's certainly a lot for people to disagree about, but it may well have your less often cited favorites, too. What do you think?
I couldn't decide if I wanted to add that one to my reading list or not. I hadn't heard of it before, and I'm not at all a sports guy, but it sounds interesting.
Well that's... really interesting. I love it when people experiment with new ways of telling a story. That might move this up much higher on my list. Thanks for the link.
The Mars trilogy is good, although Blue Mars is my favourite, Hitchhiker's is good but is more of a comedy, Flatland is ok but is more of a satire of Victorian society. The Planiverse by AK Dewdney is a better 2d world book.
