[QUOTE="Sp5, post: 622485, member: 4337"] I read a lot of the classic guys when I was younger, Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein, Herbert, Silverberg, Dick, E.E. Doc Smith, Spinrad, Harry Harrison. Out of all of them, the most on-target predictions were in John Brunner's [i]Stand on Zanzibar.[/i] That book was a pretty good picture of the world now (it's set in 2010) written in 1968. I don't see shit on the SF shelves nowadays that really interests me, it's all sword and sorcery crap, except I saw some by Kim Stanley Robinson that looked ok. Anybody read him, is he good? [/QUOTE]
