‘The Ramans do everything in threes’ – Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur Clarke
‘In space no one can hear you scream’ – Alien by Ridley Scott
‘Boldly go where no man has before’ – Star Trek.
Lines and stories that fueled the imagination of millions as humanity tries to push itself beyond the skies. Science fiction is an awesome genre, filled with optimism and yet not guard railed by the limits of present day technology or concepts.
Share with me your favourite sci-fi author, novel, movie, comics and recommendations.
My favourite authors are Arthur Clarke and Douglas Adam and I am presently reading Arthur Clarke’s ‘The Fountains of Paradise.’
If this thread starts a conversation perhaps, we can aim for a ‘Virtual book / fan club’.
I am based out of Jakarta and if there are any Jakartan Sci-fi fans reading this and want to start exchanging books via GoSend etc, do drop a note.
I enjoy reading fantasy the most, however, I have a favorite Sci-Fi author and that is Clifford Simak.
Currently, I’m re-reading his “Highway of Eternity” and I discover new things I missed the first time I read it. Have you read something of his?
Don’t forget to Introduce Yourself if you still haven’t done it yet. Feel free to jump into the conversations, engage with the Local Guides near you.
Had heard of Clifford Simak but never read any work of his. Will do so now. If you have any links to his work do share.
On the other hand with the Stay @ Home situation I am exploring scifi programs on Netflix and Prime, came across this interesting show call Tales from the Loop on Prime. Let’s see how it goes.
I will definitely check “Tales from the Loop” it looks like a must-watch. If you haven’t watched it yet my suggestion for quality series is “Love Death + Robots” on Netflix.
