Or any sci-fi without aliens and other liveforms what so ever? would be awesome to read about a big space war without lightsabers'nshit. Thanks! Why not just read a normal war novel then. :p If you haven't read 'all quiet on the western front' I recommend that, best war novel I have ever read. | ||

Also, Asimov's short stories are SENSATIONAL. Or at least some of them are. Get a collection of "the best of Asimov" or something and all the stories in it will be really good. My favorite Asimov short story: The last question I'll edit with more recommendations later | ||

Has anyone read this series by Peter Hamilton, I am currently reading another one of his books "Pandora's Star" and saw this series, 3 books, on the shelf. Is it any good the Night Dawn Series? ![[image loading]](http://img2.imagesbn.com/images/144100000/144108478.JPG) | ||

William Gibson's "The Neuromancer" (badass book stemming from neuroscience and other things) Johannes Kepler's "Somnium" (hilarious example of sci-fi from back in the good ol' 1600s) Octavia Butler's "Dawn" (badass book that makes you think about race, species, and gender issues) | ||

Molly Millions is one of the best characters in sci-fi ever. | ||

Charles Stross is really good too. The Glass House is decent and this other one whose name i can't remember is really good, it's the one with the Festival(?) if anyone knows it. Vernor Vince: A Fire Upon the Deep. I can't describe this book it's too good. | ||
