I really advice this book Also, recently discovered the "kind of prose but excuse me as I'm really uneducated" work of Also, I repeat, Neal Stephenson is really important. MUCH MORE THAN DAN SIMMONS (don't ask me why I dislike his work, I have no good reasons) added on the 2011-09-04 00:00:58 by knl   kaneelrystal meth. added on the 2011-09-04 00:27:00 by superplek   Ken Macleod Alastair Reynolds Iain M.

Apart from Dostojevsky, but thats a different kettle of fish. added on the 2011-09-04 12:23:27 by nic0   The guys who wrote the bible made fiction so real it's still alive today, thus making them the best sci fi writers of all time. added on the 2011-09-04 22:39:11 by thec   Bah, Maali beat me to it. added on the 2011-09-04 22:39:49 by thec   William Gibson Greg Egan Orson Scott Card Frank Herbert Philip K. Dick H.P. Lovecraft Robert Heinlein Isaac Asimov added on the 2011-09-04 22:52:18 by flure   Quote: Stanislaw Lem - I can't read Polish, but Lem was translated very well to Spanish. He was a true genius. @ham: did they translate Ijon Tichy's Diaries too? I'm curious because some of them are so heavy on wordplay that it made them practically unknown in the English-speaking world. I can imagine that a genius translator could probably conceive a decent Spanish translation of the 11th and 14th. Was there such a genius? added on the 2011-11-28 14:22:15 by svo   Stephen Baxter for harder sci-fi. Some of his books seem like they're not sci-fi at all, but then you get to the wham parts, and oh, boy... And on the other end of the sci-fi hardness scale, Dan Abnett for making Warhammer 40K genre fiction that's actually fun to read with memorable characters and set-pieces, instead of painful with terrible dialogue and awful pacing like most other WH40K "authors." added on the 2011-11-28 17:11:02 by t-zero   I think I already said Peter Watts, but if not . . . Peter Watts rifters.com Read Blindsight. added on the 2011-11-28 19:11:24 by metoikos   Quote: (don't ask me why I dislike his work, I have no good reasons) If Neil Gaiman and Harry Turtledove had a disappointing freak mutant of a baby, it'd be Dan Simmons writing the Hyperion books. It's horrible and mediocre. added on the 2011-11-28 22:42:23 by Shifter     previous page go to page 1 2 3 4 of 4
