Science Fiction (Bookshelf)

Robots, nudes and spaceships, …

… SF is more than that.

Science Fiction (often called sci-fi or SF) is a popular genre of fiction in which the narrative world differs from our own present or historical reality in at least one significant way. This difference may be technological, physical, historical, sociological, philosophical, metaphysical, etc, but not magical (see Fantasy).

—Excerpted from Science Fiction on Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia.

Science Fiction books from before the 20th century are listed on the page Precursors of Science Fiction. The cutoff is more by author than by date. Jules Verne (1828-1905) is usually considered the first modern SF author.

The Colors of Space (English)
This is a fun and fairly well-written short novel. It's not without a few minor clunkers -- including one or two examples of my pet peeve, background/exposition couched in unnatural-sounding dialogue -- and is no doubt wildly different in tone from Zimmer Bradley's later work. Still, the tale of young Bart Steele among the mysterious Lhari is creative enough, and humanistic (as it were!) enough, to elevate this above the usual space opera fare.

The Door Through Space (English)
This story mentions larger political struggles occuring between humans and non-humans in this far distant future, but at the same time, largely glosses over these struggles and the inherent differences and conflicts between the races that cause it. Instead, the author is more concerned with the idea of friendship, honor, love and hatred between individuals. The main character, Race, and his brother-in-law, were once as close as brothers, but that ended six years ago in a fight that left both men scarred. After Race's sister asks for his help in saving her daughter, Race must confront that hatred while on a quest that ultimately leads to great discoveries ... both for himself and for the entire planet.

Craphound (English)
Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom (English)
The future world Doctorow has created has eliminated death and poverty. Instead of money, you have "Whuffie", which is how much respect you have from your peers. Do something others like, you get more "Whuffie". Do something poorly, you lose "Whuffie". And in this future world, Disney World is not run by the Walt Disney Corporation, but rather by regular citizens who form "ad-hoc" groups to run various parts of the Magic Kingdom. Doctorow manages to examine everything from the meaning of life (without death) to love, friendship and how society can and should function from personal levels to large group levels. At the same time, the story at the heart of this examination is interesting and well worth the read. JHutch 14 January 2008

Super Man and the Bug Out (English)
Take the Superman character we all know and love. Put him into a story that is outside the standard canon of stories. DC comics has been doing this for years with great success. Cory Doctorow does the same thing with this short story about "The Superman". The hook is that instead of crashing his spaceship in Kansas and being raised by salt-of-the-earth-God-fearing farmers, Kal-el crashes near Toronto, Canada and is raised by a Jewish couple. Instead of Clark Kent, we get Hershie Ambrowicz. A amusing and well told story that turns the Superman mythos in a new direction. JHutch 14 January 2008

Interestingly, the Gutenberg legal text around the story is 5 times that size (3079 words).

Terro-Human Future History series

in Future History chronological order

The Edge of the Knife (English)
Think of time as a continuous line and your perception of it as a the edge of a knife slicing between past and present. Now, imagine that you start to "remember" the future side of the knife as clearly and as often as the "past". JHutch 14 January 2008
Omnilingual (English)
Egyptian hieroglyphics were unreadable until the Rosetta stone, with its parallel inscriptions in different languages, was unearthed. But on another world, what can the archaeologists use as a universal language key? An interesting and ingenious puzzle piece. Malcolm Farmer 11:31, 6 February 2007 (EST)

Four-Day Planet (English)
Four-Day Planet refers to the slow rotation time of the planet this story is set on. During one year, the planet rotates through four day/night cycles. However, this fact plays little role in the story. It is mostly about a popular uprising that deposes a tyrannical leader skimming the profits of the folks doing all the real work.

A poor backward planet has only one thing going for it. It was the home of the main headquarters of the Terran military during a past war ... and when they left, they left all their extra stuff. It was more expensive to move the heavy equipment over interstellar distances than it was worth. And rumors tell of a "Cosmic Computer" so powerful that it could solve everyone's problems on this little backward planet ... if only they could find it. JHutch 18 January 2008
