Read fiction books.
>>526383564Foundation series was kinda ... BORING. And the mule was obviously jewish, as was the foundation itself; the people who controlled everything from behind the scenes.
>>526383564You know that guy was fucking laughing stock of dumbness back then right...? only /pol/ sort of necro'd that. Idk why. That guy is fukcing idiot btw. He thought climbing Mount Everest was impossible lel
Bump
>>526383653Empire was the best part of the show (probably because of Lee Pace), the stuff on terminus was shit, but the book is better than the show but it also has less character development and drama. The story was a lot less about mathmagic and Gaal actually went through the advanced educational system to understand complex mathematics, he wasn't living in a hut reading tattered scrolls by candlelight on a backwards water planet. They simplified a lot of stuff for more drama in the show.
>>526383564I tried reading one of his and it started off well enough, but then there were gay aliens and I didn't want to read that shit anymore.
>>526383653Foundation is by far the most autistic prose I've ever encountered. Still a fantastic story. I actually used to own the original first edition hardcovers from Gnome Press. They got too valuable for me to justify keeping though. I like classic sci-fi but I like eating steak more.
>>526383564If you like Foundation, you will also like A Fire Upon the Deep.Great futuristic science fiction, and the plot is compelling.
>>526384485The foundation doesn't have any aliens, maybe some depictions of alien animals, but no intelligent aliens. His editor actually wanted him to depict humans as superior to aliens, so he wrote a lot of his universes to just be all human.
>>526384863I did not enjoy the ferret nation sub plot. Good books though younger readers will enjoy it.
>>526384863Based
Takes?
Always enjoyed this one.
>>526383564>They call me the Mule because of my massive dong
>>526384989>human supremacist editorHOLY BASED
>>526385285Masterpiece. Among the best books ever written.
>>526383564the Foundation Trilogy is truly based
>>526385285Pretentious gibberish.
>>526383564Fiction is slop for goys. You will never learn anything and it's all woke shit even in the 60s and 70s
>>526383564
I'll just leave this here
>>526385301One my favorites by him. Snowcrash > Necronomicon > Diamond Age > The confusion > don't bother with the rest he falls off hard.
>>526385301Neal Stephenson is great I haven't read that one, I loved Snow Crash, Cryptonomicon was okay, it felt unnecessarily long, he was describing one of the character's stockings fetish for like 10 pages.
>>526383564I've been getting in to hard sci-fi these days. I've been working my way through the Xeelee Sequence books and they're a tough read but the world building is awesome.
>>526385453Wrong. Fiction explores philosophical concepts and makes you think. Just avoid schlock.
>>526385366based>>526385440cringe
>>526385285Best tetralogy written in the English language. Might be the best books in English period, but that’s just my taste. I’ve read the tetralogy (and the coda) like 6 times in my life. Only books I’ve ever done that with. Don’t read a translation, they all suck. If it’s too hard to read listen to the audiobook on YouTube. I’m pretty sure those books taught me more English than any other resource or class ever.
>>526383564Reading this right now. Goes hard.
>>526384863>>526385285>>526385301Have not read, will give it a go>>526385485Not bad but has been a while>>526385540Reread again last year, nice read.
>>526383564I read that whole series and really, it kinda sucked. Especially since the bad guys won in the end with everyone getting mind controlled by the space communists. (Think the Borg winning, but it being the "good" ending").>>526385285Good. But I liked the Long Sun and Short Sun series more.Gotta say thought that "The Forever War" was easily the most prescient science fiction, with it's false flag wars and enforced globohomo.
>>526385795Half of the words are nonsense words the author made up. That's not English.
>>526385938Also working on going through this but it’s way heavier reading. So many sci fi/fantasy tropes were popularized by Howard and Smith.
>>526385285>>526385366>>526385778>>526385795>>526385953>>526386002Total brainlets. Not surprising for /pol/.
>>526386005Lol, because you don’t know the English word doesn’t mean they’re made up. Most of those “nonsense words” are archaic English and out of use, or direct Latin or Greek transliterations that are super easy for Neo-Latin speakers to understand. We have fuliggine as a colour in Italian. Lol, way to out yourself as a smooth brain. Stick to reading Harry Potter and men’s fitness magazines, seems more your style
>>526386170Fuck off coombrain Sam Hyde fanboy faggot. It's not English. Suck a dick brainlet.
>>526383564I am, just read the bible *Tips fedora*
>>526385671downloaded, next readtnx
Not my thing. This is my next book, what am I in for?
Pandora's Star is good sci-fi
>>526383653The Mule is not in the book I posted.
>>526388137a lot of people think this guy has the key to some ancient secrets regarding consciousness and the nature of external reality, but I just can't get over his dick and jane characters.
>>526388492he had schizophrenia for real
Foundation is good, but as a series I preferred the Robot series.Baley was a cool detective dude, and the caves of steel were neat
>>526383564Asimov is my guilty pleasure because his books are obvious jewish talmudic prophecies ripoffs and/or predictive programming. But they’re so good. I love foundation but robots are almost better. Caves of steel is one of my favorite novels.
>>526383564The end of eternity is a annual read for me
>>526388691Asimov was a homosexual Jewish eugenicist glow nigger. He worked on mind control programs at the Philadelphia Naval Yard with Robert Heinlein. The New York Sci Fi society that he was part of schismed creating art vs programming youth with Marxism. His son was the greatest distributor of CP ever arrested, with 6,000 videos and a commerical CD pressing suite, well before the internet took off. The son was released without charge by Robert Mueller, the Deep State's fixer of choice. We are told he was great because they want us to absorb his programming.Niven, Pournelle, Hubbard and Heinlein were all spooks from that era and were better authors.
>>526389197Schismed over creating....Fucking splitters.
>>526389197
>>526389961Seconded. Covington is not merely based but also happened to be an excellent writer. His other works, such as the Redmond Saga (Redmond family murder mysteries set at various times and places throughout the centuries ain't half bad either.
>>526385285I've read this 3 times now. So fucking good.
>>526388137I've read The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch and Ubik and both times after I finished them I though, "what the fuck did just read".
S tier
>>526383564Foundation is pretty gay.Read Alistair Reynolds, Adrian Tchaikovsky and James S. A. Corey.If you want older stuff read Robert A. Heinlein.
>>526390955Kys
>>526391299Stick to your gene wolfe slop
>>526383564Can someone explain to me what the point was of first writing how history is determined by socioeconomic factors and how individuals have no influence on its course, and then introducing a whole bunch of individuals who can do just that?
>>526384728>>526383564Most classic sci-fi is so lacking in flare and poetics that I just can't read it. Heinlein is the only one with decent prose I've found. Even Bradbury is just really lacking. I know they can be decent, Heinlein is great. He also wrote multiple short stories about men transitioning to women and fucking every man in sight lol.I recommend this book by him, it's about an Uber-mensch in the year 50 billion million struggling to find purpose
>>526383564Fiction is generally ass, sci-fi is especially gay.
>>526384863How are the other books in this series? Worth picking up?
>>526391712Then you have yet to discover the value of it. Begin with short stories.https://www.luminist.org/archives/SF/
>>526391393This book is a prophecy of things to come
>>526391712>Every great philosopher in history writes philosophical fiction to get across ideas>Tradition stretches back to before history >Literally what separated humans from animals and other homo species before usEnter - the midwit>Achsually fiction is useless!Lmao, why do midwits demand to out themselves so. If you don't have a favorite philosophical fiction (preferably from the fin-de-siecle) then you are a certified midwit and the main reason why thousands of years of human advancement are being reversed for the first time in millenia. I don't make the rules
This book gets more appropriate as time goes on, feels like it could be written today, not 30 years agoa cyberpunk novel about Maya Andreyeva, a "camera" reporter in near-future Russia who broadcasts her experiences, including sights and sensations, to a live audience.The story follows her investigation into a massacre cover-up, uncovering secrets about her own life and exploring themes of censorship, surveillance, identity, and (lesbian) love in a technologically saturated world.The book, first published in 1996, has seen a recent reissue and is celebrated for its prescient take on the internet and its blend of political critique with personal drama.
>>526383564I only read fiction, fucking roleplayers and their insistence that I read dark psychology books and that dogshit 5 stages of power or something, I already forgot.They always clap at people reading fiction but never finish their intellislop nonsense.
>>526383564take this shit to lit. theyll chew your ass up
I like the foundation serie, but it's kinda slow, the crossover with the robots series is neat, but you need to reach the fifth book to read that, still a solid piece but IDK why /pol/ recommend it since it has almost no racism
>>526391476>>526391552Lol so mad about nothing. What do you read?
>>526383564>"Hey guys! Read this Jewish author I found out about yesterday!!"
>>526385154>ferret nationyou talk about Tines? aren't they more dog like?
