Okay hive mind let me lay it on the line. I’m a voracious reader but I have neglected sci-fi for years simply because it’s always felt a little intimidating. So I guess my question is where should I begin? My gut tells me to go for some of the big well-known names first Asimov, Banks, Hamilton, Simmons, are the few I am aware of but am happy to take suggestions. I’m also totally down for exploring sub genres and more abstract/challenging works. A series would be fine but I think stand alones would give me a flavour of a variety of different authors. Looking forward to hearing your suggestions!
- Stanislaw Lem's standalone stories
- H.G Well's standalone stories
- Jules Verne's standalone stories
- Heinlein's standalone books & short stories
- Valerian & Lauraline
- Yoko Tsuno
- Lone Sloane
- H.P Lovecraft
- Larry Niven's Mote in God's Eye & Lucifer's Hammer
Generally, go back to basics. Focus on Things That Inspired Other Thingsâ„¢ and focus on Weird over "hard" or "reputable".
