Spend your time with the greatest Science Fiction novels and authors!
Science fiction, science fiction novels and Fantasticfiction together make up a vast area with many different movies, books and authors. I spent my teens/twenties and now half of my thirties reading science fiction novels with different authors, watching all the best science fiction movies and playing a lot of science fiction games. This site is about spending your time with sciencefiction-quality -- great science fiction! It is devoted to SciFi nerds/geeks, both male and female.
One of the first best selling science fiction novels I ever read was The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Later, in 1982, one of the best science fiction movies, "Star Wars," was on my curriculum. My parents couldn’t get me away from the TV and a few months later my friends and I could repeat the lines word for word.
Later on, the search for sciencefiction-quality, i.e movies, novels and authors actually worth your time, continued. Think of this site not as a wiki of science fiction, but as a SciFi primer--a subjective opinion of what comprises quality Science Fiction. Don’t waste your time with poor quality science fiction, young apprentice – join the dark side!
I have taken no consideration of what's currently popular on the net, or whether the novel, short story, or author has won an award, like the Hugo or Nebula, or not (but often they are spot on and have won awards).
A word of caution
- On this site I have made in depth analyses of some classics (and avoided crap), given my opinion on the science fiction authors who have written them to give examples of the novels and authors that should be on your SciFi "To Be Read" list.
- I have found some of the best science fiction films , and you may not see movies like "Avatar" or "Titanic" (some of the absolute best-selling movies). What you'll see here are more comments on quality stuff in this genre.
- Fantasticfiction is the category in which I will comment on what the world looks like after the 2010's and compare it with the views some of these authors had or have today. (Where are all the flying cars as predicted in Blade Runner?)
- Resources - here I have found some interesting sites you might enjoy related to thescience fiction genre.
- Book Clubs represents other forums or places where you can get discounts on books or be inspired and get lists of great SciFi that others recommend.
- In the category - Your quality? - you are invited to write to me, to join in and give others hints as to what you consider science fiction quality to be.Happy sci-fi'ing with some of the best science fiction novels, movies, authors and Fantasticfiction of all--that's ScienceFiction-Quality!
