- Jasper Fforde: Der Fall Jane Eyre
Auf dieses Buch bin ich nur durch Zufall gestossen – und wie mich das freut!
Eine Welt auf den ersten Blick wie die unsere, aber in der die Menschen viel grösseres Interesse (bis Fanatismus) für Literatur haben. So dass es schon …
- Amy Thomson: Virtual Girl
I like this book very much – I just read it again after many years. It is the story of a ‘virtual girl’ – which means a robot girl in this context. Created by a human in a world which …
- Marion Zimmer Bradley: Das Haus zwischen den Welten
[asa mybookr]3404281128[/asa] Diese Buch habe ich jetzt wohl zum dritten Mal gelesen. Ich weiss eigentlich nicht, warum ich es noch einmal aus dem Regal gezogen habe, aber es hat mich wieder fasziniert.
Es handelt von einem Experiment mit einer neuen Droge …
- Greg Egan: Schild’s Ladder
Another one of the great scifi stories by Greg Egan – he is really incredible rich in transcribing ideas of new physics into a story in/of the future, trying out the thoughts in fictional reality.This time the story starts …
- Orson Scott Card: Speaker for the Dead
Second book of the Ender series – lots of new ideas, a new alien race, with a mysterious lifecycle and ecology – quite nicely revealing during the book out of the human perspective.I like also the …
- Orson Scott Ender: Ender’s Game
A multi-faceted story set in some future of humanity: on one hand it is about highly gifted children and how this separates them from the rest: Ender is not only special compared to the average children, but even in the …
- Vernor Vinge: Rainbows End
Another very nice story situated in the near future. New treatments allow to recover various existing diseases, though not every one and not perfectly. In any case, an old poet being in Alzheimers coma is now brought back – and …
- 6 Word SF
From Wired 14.11 – very short stories – science fiction in 6 words.
Some are really very funny and creative – my favorites:
Failed SAT. Lost scholarship. Invented rocket.
- William Shatner
Computer, did we bring batteries? … - Neal Stephenson: Snow Crash
Rasant und abgefahren! Ganz klar jetzt, woher die Second Life Leute ihre Ideen wohl haben, hier ist das Metaverse schon detailliert dargestellt (am Rande: nette Idee – wenn zu viele Avatare zusammen sind, werden sie semi-transparent und ‘non-physical’ – andererseits: …
- Greg Egan: Luminous
I have to admit upfront that I am a big fan of Greg Egan – I think he is one of the best writers of hard science fiction. This book contains 10 stories, I can see most of them as …
- Charles Stross: Accelerando
A science fiction book for Slashdot geeks … I would guess it is quite hard to understand, if one is not a bit dedicated to this world and has not heard of these terms (Matrioshka brain etc) before and does …
