Sci-fi recommendation thread

Bibliophile dramanauts, I was thinking about having a few recommendation threads according to genre, this one is Sci-fi but then we could go into horror, fantasy, realism, math textbooks, etc.

Here’s mine, or at least the few one’s I read.

HG Wells

“War of the Worlds”

Isaac Asimov

I robot

Foundation Trilogy

Frank Herbert

Dune

Dune messiah

Andy Weir

The Martian

Edit: I forgot about Robert Henlein, in his case “Starship Troopers”

The entire Hyperion cantos is a masterpiece. I can't think of a single flaw in any of the books.

I loved this book series. The only thing that bothered me was they never actually named The Consul.

Are you fricking joking? The introduction and plotline for Aenea in the third book could make many a reviewer seem like a violent incel.

The first book is well written, but needs better follow through in the 2nd... and the third installment is garbage so the entire collection really just belongs in the trash.

Anyway I hate everything, got any other recommendations that I've already read and decided that they were shit?

I read the first one and found it very meh, it didn't inspire any sense of wonder or cause any of those weird tingles you get sometimes when reading something that causes weird deja-vu.

It's very dramatic writing.. melodramatic to some, definitely not for everyone

I also detected the hint of overtly Christian themes creeping in (it isn't subtle either) which turned me off.

What about the vaguely pedophlic stuff in book 3(4?) Honestly that's all I remember about Endymion
