Anyone has some tips regarding Hard-SciFi authors? (my favorites were (among others):<br>-Alastair Reynolds (best book: 'Pushing Ice')<br>-Arthur C. Clarke (Short stories I thought were the best)<br>-Iain M. Banks (everything I read so far was great, but 'The Algebraist' wow 0_o)<br>-Comedy would include Douglas Adams (duh) and Terry Pratchett (Discworld series)<br><br>Cheers!,(reply>), I'm not sure why it matters if the sci-fi writers are hard. I'm sure most are flaccid when they write.,(reply>), @The Home Project Channel Thank you for the reply! I read (some) Asimov when young, I will revisit! Anne McCaffrey was a tip a friend gave me some time ago, thanks!<br>I love this feedback, cheers from the Netherlands!<br>[edit: missed a bracket],(reply>), Not sure they would be deemed hard sci fi, but I love Anne McCaffrey, not the fantasy dragon rider of Pern stuff she is mostly known for,  but the brain ship novels are an interesting concept that ties in to a lot of Lex's interviews. Start with "The Ship Who Sang"  she also wrote a few space exploration stories where they had trials and tribulations settling on various type M planets. Don't forget the Crystal singer series, my favourites. <br><br>I will add Harry Harrison, mostly remembered for writing Soylent Green, but  I loved the Stainless Steel Rat.<br><br>Isaac Asimov cannot be beat. Huge body of work but getting less fashionable, at least read the Foundation novels if nothing else.,(reply>), Hi there 🙂thank you for taking your time to watch send me a direct message 👆👆,(reply>), Hi there 🙂thank you for taking your time to watch send me a direct message 👆👆
