Do you read science fiction iyc?
>>
>>220016028
No, with the exception of HG Well
>>
Asimov is overrated. William Gibson is the ultimate sci fi writer.
>>
>>220016028
no i only read non fiction books for some reason
>>
Egan, Wolfe, Watts, Clarke, Lem.
>>
>>220016028
Yes, it's the main sort of fiction I read.

You're missing some of the best sci fi stories ever written.

I don't read books lame ass nigga I imagine my own stories in my mind. I even produce and film entire movies in my mind. I got a story called TURNER. It starts Mel Gibson and it's about him in the distant future where the remains of the country are inhabited by an amoral brown people known as "Chichans" who rule through a crude feudal form of governance known as the "Run red." He's from an alternate reality and ended up in this alternative earth through a hyperflux, sort of like Planet of The Apes except the apes are mexican. Also, he has force powers due to the hyperflux. He's sort of a Jedi cowboy trying to get the hell out of there. Woke critics called it racist, but on /tv/ we call it /ourfilm/.

The original cover art is kino but I really disliked the ending to Foundation. The whole bit about Gaia and Galaxia was so lame
>>
>>220016028
I'm a big fan of Lem especially his silly books like The Star Diaries. Memoirs found in a bathtub felt like reading schizophrenia.
>>
asimov is good
prelude and forward are my favorite actually
>>
>>220016028
No. Back in my reading days I mainly enjoyed books ultra focused in reality, so Tolstoy, Dostoevski, Gogol, Turgenev... Russian literature in general.

>>220022923
Edge was the comfiest one for me, oddly enough

I live in a science fiction dystopia already.

Early scifi really liked the idea of "humans exploring the universe". Meanwhile most dystopian scifi these days is about how we'll be frying our brains with dopamine trying to experience everything possible in a simulation.

Asimov paperback covers have always been hit or miss but these are by far the coolest and most evocative. The editions I have are older and much quainter by comparison.
