Mind Destroying Sci-Fi ?

[Bonquisha Fullcone]

Anyone else here into crazy sci-fi stuff ? Lately I'm a bit through Cloud Atlas (I dug the preview, so I figure the book should be far superior !) Other than that just reading Neuromancer too, which seems right into it

"DUNE" by Frank Herbert, he wrote three other Dune books all great reading. Dune was also an epic movie that was pretty close to the book.

 

All of Isac Asimov books are great as well.

Looking along the bookshelf here, I spy...

 

Issac Azimov, Poul Anderson, Ira Levin, Joe Haldeman, Doris Lessing, Aldos Huxley, Greg Bear, Dan Simmons, Damon Knight, Jules Verne, Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Arthur C. Clarke, Frank Herbert, Ray Bradbury, H.G. Wells, and John Wood Campbell. There are also several compilations of short stories and novellas that were originally published in scifi magazines between the 1930's and 1970's.

 

Joe Haldeman is a particular favourite of mine... if you like your scifi with a dose of hard edged science, Joe's your author.

 

I wouldn't call scifi 'mind destroying', especially considering how much of the science fiction of the 20th century can be seen as a precursor to science fact.

I use to read a lot of michael chrighton

 

My favourite being sphere, Don't i repeat DO NOT watch the movie. They butchered it, even though it has one of the biggest cast's ive ever seen

 

Just one of those books really got the imagination going !!
