Give me some recommendations for required scifi reading, for someone (relatively) new to the genre, coming from fantasy and pop lit. So far i have read:
- Dune: all six F.H. books (absolutely loved all six, even Heretics and Chapterhouse; catalyst for getting more into scifi)
- Hyperion: both Hyperion books, not Endymion (mostly very good but all shrike-related themes/imagery too cheesy and juvenile, felt out of place in the setting)
- Neuromancer (fantastic, want to and will read more W.G., but its also the only book i have ever read where i struggled with the prose, as a non-native-speaker)
If possible, i would prefer recs for single books (as opposed to series) for now, so that i can more quickly get a variety of authors in and find my footing in regards to what and whom i like.
Thanks anon
