Anyone got any other recommendations? I've really enjoyed his scifi
but not so hot on demons (they were fun, but not as interesting I don't think)
- InclinedPlane 16y agoI really enjoyed Iron Sunrise. I'd also recommend Iain M. Banks and Vernor Vinge as other authors you might enjoy.
- almost 16y agoOh yes, Iron Sunrise was cool. Love Ian M Banks too, The Culture is incredible as a vision of a far future utopia. I've not read any Vernor Vinge but will check it out, recommend any starting points?
- InclinedPlane 16y agoRead "A Fire Upon the Deep" then "Deepness in the Sky", those are his best works that I've read. His other stuff is solid ("Rainbow's End", "Tatja Grimm's World", etc.) but not nearly as excellent.
- auxbuss 16y agoBanks Culture books are terrific. Interesting world, great ideas, and terrific storytelling. Not a fan of Vinge myself. Also, it's "Rainbows End", no apostrophe. Oddly, I found this book a bit retro in its application of tech.
- InclinedPlane 16y agoAlso, it's "Rainbows End", no apostrophe. Indeed, shamefully my fingers auto-corrected.
- endtime 16y agoThis is the correct answer. Also, the sequel to Fire is coming out in February. :)
- endtime 16y agoI love the Culture books, but don't count out The Algebraist (possibly my favorite of Banks's books) or Against a Dark Background.
