Science fiction has yet to have a book that justifies the existence of the genre

BotNS is better than most literary fiction. Certainly better than anything Rooney ever has or will write.

Only dudes who have read fewer than 20 books in their entire chuddie existence and are dysgenic election-tourist believe this

I read 20 books just this year and have been here since 2014 and I think it warrants further investigation

>>25304369
Not really relevant to the question of whether it manages to justify the genre as a whole.

there should be a new rule to hold OPs accountable for their shitty threads or they get range banned
they should have an ID and if they're not a fourth of the total replies, ban.

>want to get into a genre
>instead of being honest and sincere and just asking us for some recs
>anon instead made a bait thread claiming there's no good novels in the genre, thereby making other anons post recs
Why not just be honest in the first place? This is what DFW warned us against

Did you ever read what they call Science Fiction? It’s a scream. It is written like this:

‘I checked out with K19 on Aldabaran III, and stepped out through the crummalite hatch on my 22 Model Sirius Hardtop. I cocked the timejector in secondary and waded through the bright blue manda grass. My breath froze into pink pretzels. I flicked on the heat bars and the Brylls ran swiftly on five legs, using their other two to send out crylon vibrations. The pressure was almost unbearable...’
