For me it’s Dune by Frank Herbert. Other authors I liked were Ray Bradbury and George Orwell… I do not consider Stephen King science fiction… he is many things but rarely that. Please don’t answer Dracula, Frakenstein, or and other books that are based more on horror than on actual science fiction.
Please do not put the Bible… even if you believe it’s fiction… it is NOT science fiction.
The Bible. King James Version.
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea – the book that pretty much crated the entire genre of Science Fiction.
I personally like the Zanth Series by Piers Anthony. I do agree with the bible from the other fella, too.
the war of the worlds
“A Clock Work Orange” by Burgess AMAZING!!!
Maybe even “Slaughter House 5″ by Vonugett
Clarke’s 2001
Erm, Ender’s Game? Is there any other answer? If you read Ender’s game, at least five people will come up to you and tell you how amazing it is. Not even kidding. That’s how amazing it is. Plus, it’s a fabulous book, and I love it. And everyone should just emulate me in every way. Yup.
Dune is a great choice. I’d have to say that my favorite was ‘Stranger in a Strange Land’ by Robert Heinlein. I totally fell in love with Michael Valentine!
I am into cyberpunk. I consider the best to be William Gibson’s Neuromancer. Pax-C
Unquestionably, Douglas Adams — Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
