Firstly, thank you all very much for the previous recommendations.
Perhaps the ones I'm adding haven't been mentioned since they're
such excellent authors, but I'll go ahead anyway...
Stanislaw Lem (the most widely read SF author in the world)
Best books-
Solaris -- dark, fascinating hard-science tale.
Tales of the Pilot, Pirx -- Excellent descriptions
of the rigors in space travel.
Ciberiad -- Incredibly funny, sharp (and occaisionally
recursive!) stories.
and many others.
Alfred Bester (No one seems to have heard of him)
Best books-
The Demolished Man -- Murder, where the police can
read your mind... the best of this idea I've seen.
The Stars My Destination -- One of the five best
Science fiction stories, ever.
The Computer Connection -- Also called Extro!, kind
of Strange. With a very capital S.
NEVER READ THE BOOK BY BESTER `Golem 100'. It is
almost Pure Trash.
Thanks for your attention, happy reading...
Chris Sterritt
