Kosmo Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 At a certain point those descriptions of the cinism and cruelty of a society that puts no value on human life really got on my nervs and I could not read russian classics anymore. I liked the first Dune the most, the next few I find acceptable, the last ones are bad while the ones made by his son are truely bad. But I still read them. Form Hebert I like a lot also "The Dosadi Experiment" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faustus Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 (edited) Jack Williamson of the SF genre. His THE HUMANOIDS (Previously "WITH FOLDED HANDS"), really laid the foundation for robotics in SF, along with Isaac Asimov of course. He explored some ideas the application of which would seem way ahead of his time for instance the "Heisenburg Uncertainty Principal", using it to do some unexpected things for a 1949 novel that I really found intriguing to say the least. I first read it in the late 1950's and again twice more a couple of years back.
