They only mention Indistinguishable from Magic by Robert L Forward once. But it belongs in a bunch of these categories.
Basically what it does is pick a variety of topics of interest to science fiction, has a science fact essay about it, then a short story with theoretically possible technology based on that topic.
Highly recommended.
- stoneman24 6y agoJust finished “Camelot 30K” also by Robert L Forward. Humans meet aliens out in the Kuiper belt. Interesting ideas for alien life at very cold temperatures. Similar style to Dragon’s Egg (Mentioned in list) and equally enjoyable.
- garmaine 6y agoAbsolutely horrible characterization in Camelot 30K. I ended up skipping through the book and skimming past dialogue as it was so bad that it hurt to read. But the idea of the book was utterly fascinating, and I still think about it now and then, years after reading it. Definitely worth reading (or skimming) if you are the type that likes science fiction for the big ideas.
