the greatest sci-fi comes from asimov and bradbury mostly. then you also have philip k. dick, arthur c. clarke and brian aldiss. and those are the obvious ones.

brin is pretty awesome....

I read Neutomancer 28 years ago. It was fantastic, I bet it's been long enough to read again like I'd never read it before.

I have a friend whose sister is always posting about Handmaidens tale. She cracks me up but drives her brothers absolutely batshit crazy. It's hard to imagine them coming out of same family.

Are you guys familiar with the old radio show X Minus One? If you're fans of sci-fi, I think you'd like it. Several episodes were based on stories by Asimov, Dick, and Bradbury.

Apologies for derailing the thread, but episode 6 was probably the best episode so far. Very good show

Hated Neuromancer. It was like reading a 250 page coded message. Very famous though.

I love watching but hate reading science fiction.

Jules Verne doesn't seem to be mentioned in anyone's pantheon but he ended up being more of a science predictor than a science fiction writer

Getting close to wrapping up season 1 of this series. So far I am finding it pretty fascinating and good story telling. I didn't know anything about what it was about and don't know any spoilers or anything yet. It sprang to mind because I have been seeing commercials for the new season so thought it was worth a watch.
