It’s Monday Question time!
Last week, the European Space Agency managed to land a space probe on a moving comet that’s 377 millions of miles away. The probe launched from Earth ten years ago and traveled billions of miles through space before finally landing on the comet last week.
That’s some serious sci-fit stuff right there. Is this a Robert Heinlein plot? Did Bruce Willis make the trip? Did Areosmith provide some background music for the probe as it flew through space?
Anyway, I’m fascinated by all things space, but I’ve somehow never been drawn to science fiction. For the most part, I just flat out dislike it.
I’ve read a few sci-fi novels from the Time list—Neuromancer, Snow Crash, Ubik—with mixed reviews. Ubik was pretty good, the other two—not so much.
So I can’t sit here with authority and tell you what my favorite sci-fi novel is. I love 1984, but that’s not really sci-fiction, right?
So, enlighten me (and everyone else) friends. Tell us what your favorite science fiction novel is, and what makes it so good.
Go!
