>>3476>all aliens are evil! Be a paranoid autistic with zero social skillsI hate those hackers and their blackpilled view of the universe, same happens with The Killing Star and Starship Troopers
At least Dune doesn't have "muh evil aliens"
That's why Steven Spielberg is the biggest movie director of all time, he can't make good stories about aliens.
No.3537
>>3533I don't know if that's necessarily the point of Starship Troopers. It's just that there's a war on, and the exact motivations of the enemy are never fully elaborated on, because it's not really what the book is focused on.

Give me recommendations of good hard-scifi books
No.3690
>>3686"hard sci-fi" is one of those definitions I'm never sure I understand entirely. What marks the difference between pulp sci-fi and hard sci-fi seems kind of subjective to me. I've heard people refer to Alien as hard sci-fi, when to me that's a horror story about a rape monster.
I guess Arthur C Clarke is what would immediately come to mind though. Rendezvous with Rama in particular.
No.3696
>>3686The Three-Body Problem like already discussed here, read before it become mainstream because they will make a film or tv show about it.
No.3712
>>3686There's no such thing as good "hard" science fiction. "Hard" science fiction is the reddit of science fiction.
>>3696The Three-Body Problem is bad. It starts out like a modern Lovecraft story, and then he meets those guys in the bar and it just turns out to be retarded aliens.

No.3730
>>3718Stay seething. Maybe you want to read a technical manual for a device that doesn't exist, but the purpose of science fiction is to read about green-skinned space babes and zapping Martians with lasers.

>>3766>>3795He's right, soyim. Scifi is supposed to be about the big terran cock conquering alien wombs. Nobody cares about your "deep" social commentary, the whole point of genre fiction is that all that gay shit is thrown out in favor of something actually entertaining.

I'm only a few chapters into the first Wheel of Time novel. It's enjoyable and I like that it's not very pretentious like so many fantasy and science fiction novels can get. Just shameless escapism in a good way. But more importantly, does it really get lewd like these anon from ages past said?

No.4297
>>120Okay, ignoring the shit-flinging contest going on at the bottom, I'm looking to get into fantasy; the problem is what should I read? I'm looking for works that aren't just high fantasy epics that span multiple novels and volumes, but are more stand-alone/confined to the novel; they can come from any decade or century, though I would prefer those from the 50s-90s if possible.
what are some recommendations?
No.4299
>>4297I'm reading Book of the New Sun right now, which is very good. It is going to be at least 1000 pages to read all of it though.
For short fiction, Robert E Howard is always good.
No.4303
>>4297Some of Clark Ashton Smith's famtasy stories were written in the 50s-60s.
No.4304
>>4297The King of Elfland's Daughter by Lord Dunsany. It's an interesting mix between an old fashioned fairy tale and a modern fantasy novel. Plus the prose is top tier.
No.4614
Just a friendly reminder that Warhammer is based almost wholly on Michael Moorcock's work, an anarcho-communist male feminist who was saying Tolkien was a nazi, fantasy is racist and sexist, and Britain needed to get rid of white people in the 70s. Any optimistic fantasy was wrong because it oppressed the masses, and good fantasy must be subversive and awful to further "the cause". He was an SJW before SJWs and the creators of Warhammer unanimously agreed with and loved him.
I saw this in the 40k lore discussion thread. Is this true?

Gene Wolfe would be translated and released in my country, but my shitty government told them to cancel those plans, since Gene Wolfe was an evil "right-winger".

Re-read Paycheck by Philip K Dick and Goldenman by him too.
I enjoyed more the last one. Its over for Louis K Dick and other nigger loves. The golden gods will take over the Earth.
