+1 on the Rama series. Fantastic writing and I revisit often. I'm also a fan of Cradle (also with Gentry Lee) and Songs of Distant Earth.
Modern Sci-Fi is going through somewhat of a renaissance. I heartily recommend Kim Stanley Robinson's 'Aurora' and Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. Both are long but very rewarding.
I listened to both in an audiobook format, otherwise I'd lend to anybody interested.
Calling all sci-fi heads.
The classics:
Ian M Banks "consider Phlebas"
Alfred bester "the stars my destination"
Greg Bear "Hull three zero"
Trash sci-fi but I love it:
James Axlers "Deathlands" series.
What's yours?
Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy
1984
Brave New World
Animal Farm
Fahrenheit 451
Speeches by most politicians (or is that more fantasy?)
...on my list to read next...I recently finished “the three body problem†by Chinese author Cixin Liu. A trilogy. Not read much sci-fi for a little while, but this is excellent. Near future and very thoughtful.
