I getting thought anything by Kim S. Robinson.
I read the Mars trilogy 20 years ago and plan to re-read it once I'm done.
Recently went thought "Ministry for the future" from him. Weird mix of factual non fiction and SF. Read like a fan fiction of a iPCC Report.
Outside of hard SF, Ursula K Leguin. Great world building.
- omnimus 3y agoLeguin was one of the most imaginative and skilled scifi writers ever. She also has fantasy series Earthsea which lots of Harry Potter was inspired from but it never got so popular even though it might be as good or better.
- dopidopHN 3y agoOh. It’s better. I mean I vastly prefers it. More coherent and less excuse / deus in machina
- goddamnyouryan 3y ago“The Left Hand of Darkness” besides having one of the coolest titles of all time completely blew me away. Which lead me to reading “the dispossessed” which also blew me away and has maybe further radicalized me. She has a beautiful way with words and also all of her stories are so recognizably human. Two qualities I find woefully lacking in most sci fi.
