Of course I’ve done all the classics, the total Dune series, Foundation along with all the Robot series, most of Iain Banks sci-fi stuff. Lighter reading would include John Varley books…he has a ton.

Lately checking out newer authors, Emily St. John Mandel being one…responsible for Station Eleven, The Glass Hotel and Sea of Tranquility. Blake Crouch…Recursion, Dark Matter, Upgrade, Pines. Daniel Wilson… Robopocalypse and Robogenesis, Hole in the Sky. Adrian Tchaikovsky…is an author that I’ve read but need to discover more Alien Clay is my only one so far, started Shards of Earth. Nicholas Binge…Professor Everywhere, Ascension, Dissolution.
