Love the science fiction original "big three":
Asimov, Arthur C Clarke, Heinlein (although I have found Heinlein to be too misogynistic sometimes).
Ray Bradbury, Also Frederick Pohl, Zelazney. Pretty much anyone on this list:

Reading The Expanse right now and enjoying it. Just finished Day of The Triffids - it was really good. For lit Dostoyevsky is my favorite, The Idiot my favorite novel

Asimov is great

I just finished watching the tv series adaptation of The Expanse. I'm sure the book has more offer, but how does it hold up in your opinion?

@Chachie It's good so far. I also saw the show first.

If you're looking for a fun read, l would suggest Miles Cameron's Traitor Son Cycle. There are five books in the series.

The list needs Sir Terry Pratchett. His discworld series is da bomb. Any of the 40 or so volumes will get you hooked, but I recommend for this group “Small Gods” and “Science of Discworld: Judgement Day”.

Craig Schaefer - His Danial Faunst urban fantasy series is one of my favorites. Also a very prolific author who publishes about three books per year.

Benedict Jacka - The Alex Verus urban fantasy series is very enjoyable.

Michael J Sullivan - He writes several fantasy series though his science fiction novel Hollow World was excellent.

Peter Clines - His Ex-Heroes series is a fun mix of superheros and zombie apocalypse. Also 14 and The Fold are very good.

Dan Wells - His John Cleaver series is quite enjoyable. It centers around a teenager who hunts serial killers who are actual monsters. Hollow City is good though it's not really science fiction or fantasy.

Patrick Lee - His books are techno-thrillers. He's only written 5 books so far.

Cecelia Holland- Floating Worlds. I think it was her only science fiction novel. I really loved this one.

Here's my vague list of authors. Really any book from these folks is good, so I'll not list the books here:

Iain Banks
Roger Zelazny
JRR Tolkien
Julian May
Nancy Kress
Robert Heinlein
Daniel Keyes Moran
Mary Gentle
Dan Simmons
Michael Crichton
Steven King (not really scifi but some of his stuff is speculative)
David Brin
Greg Bear
CS Lewis - fantasy and yes I realize he was a fundamental Christian
JK Rowling (again not scifi but I bet she could write some amazing stuff)
John Varley

Asimov for Sci-fi. You can start with the foundation series.
Or the robot series.

Posted by ninjarider1I keep calling the coronavirus "Captain Tripps", but no one gets the reference! I am surrounded by savages.

Posted by ChatoyantHas anyone read The Expanse Series and/or is watching the series? I can't wait for the next season on Prime!

Posted by taichifanAre Sci-fi memes ok here?

Posted by ponz111I am getting tired of the science fiction/horror movies combined Walking Dead is ok but the movies which use too much horror turn me off.

Posted by jerry99Noticed this on Twitter today and was surprised that I generally agree with the "voting.

Posted by bigpawbulletsWith my luck I'd have been assigned as a Red Shirt:

Posted by bigpawbulletsI'm impressed with the logic. Although, it does make use of a few unproven assumptions:

Posted by bigpawbulletsSo this evening as the storm blows in from the southwest, we've selected 2 movies to watch as a double feature.

Posted by bigpawbulletsStar Trek. TOS was a defining moment in science fiction going mainstream. Glad I was never in a "red shirt" situation in real life.
