  • Also, can anyone recommend any interesting, well written science fiction? Along the lines of Philip K Dick. I've already read the Hugh Howey books everyone's been enjoying lately. Another case where I enjoyed the story and ideas but not the writing style.

  • I've enjoyed most of the stuff I've read from the SF masterworks collection. Off the top of my head Starmaker, Flowers for Algernon, The Forever War and I Am Legend. Also a big fan of Sirens of Titan, but I dig Vonnegut anyway.

  • Co-sign on I Am Legend. Ignore the terrible will smith vehicle film.
    I'd recommend 'The Islanders' by Christopher Priest. Interesting sci-fi, written in the style of a travel guide.

    Would recommend delving in to William Gibson if you've not already. Neuromancer is the obvious starting point, although i started with Virtual light and then worked my way through the rest of the trilogy it starts off.

    I just re-read the Hyperion series by Dan Simmons, which are good space opera/hard sic fi sort of thing, with a Keats theme. Also, David Brin has written some fun stuff - quite liked Existence, one of his latest (possibly the latest?), which is also hard sic-fi.

  • Have you ever read any John Wyndham? The Kraken Wakes is a good place to start I'd say.
