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”

Def gonna watch Saturn 3, looks like it's right up my alley. Can't be any worse than space truckers or the black hole.
Also the movie Freejack is a Gibson fanfic, i swear. Even though it's supposed to be based on Sheckley, all the scenes are pulled from Count Zero and Mona Lisa. Best on screen depiction of Gibson's work to date, imo. Watch it if you haven't already

I'll get it, yeah from the name alone I'd imagine it to be a Gibson-based work.
The Black Hole... some of the sets really manage to capture that 'wow that ship is huge' vibe. Never watched Space Truckers, from the trailer/poster I was imagining something along the lines of Spaceballs then someone told me it was 1. nothing like that at all and 2. shit so I skipped it.
I've got The Men Who Stare at Goats on at the moment which is an amusing/intriguing watch.

Space truckers is god awful but like mainlining cheesy 90s scifi. The sets are so chintzy and everything is so bright
