Imagine I could only choose 5 sci fi books for a brand new sci fi reader – what would they be?

Trying to diverge a bit from what’s already in here:

  • Douglas Adams - The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
  • Arthur C. Clarke - 2001: A Space Odyssey
  • Isaac Asimov - Caves of Steel
  • Greg Bear - Blood Music
  • Frank M. Robinson - The Dark Beyond the Stars

The latter is a bit of a dark horse, but I unabashedly love it. It has one of my favorite endings of any novel ever.

Honorable mentions to Ender’s Game, and Old Man’s War for sure.
