Just noticed that the links are to Amazon (ugh). I’ll correct this in a little while but meanwhile buy from Hive or Bookshop.org etc. I seem to have deleted my first version of this so:
Lem:
The Futurological Congress
Stanislaw Lem, a hidden gem
Sladek:
Tik-Tok
Tik-Tok a psychopathic robot
Keep the Giraffe Burning
I love the story with the 300 word Ladybird vocabulary
The Complete Roderick
probably related to Voltaire’s Candide, funny and finally sad
Bester:
The Demolished Man
First cyberpunk novel, in my opinion
The Stars My Destination
very famous but I like this less
Philip K Dick:
A hero for my generation 20 years before Blade Runner:
The Ganymede Takeover
wow, this is collectable now, not many people know about it. It would make a great film too. With him is Ray Nelson
who wrote the story that became: They Live
Roger Zelazny:
Lord of Light probably one of my all-time favourites
Walter M Miller:
A Canticle for Leibowitz
again this is forgotten now
Kurt Vonnegut:
Player Piano this book is becoming more and more relevant, I love this as well:
Cat’s Cradle
Frederick Pohl:
The Space Merchants
another set of accurate predictions
Gladiator at Law
more stuff that’s true now
Ursula LeGuin
The Left Hand of Darkness another all time favourite
