[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 1165345, member: 746"] Isaac Asimov's books were always quite deep. Much Science-Fiction in the 1950's and some in the1960's was well thought out. Today we have such amazing scientific advances that yesterday's science-fiction idea is today's reality Arthur C Clarke was by far my favourite writer. He was also a scientist and a futurist and even in the 1940s was expounding mobile phones and communication satellites. His Childhood End was one of his more successful stories Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, Ray Bradbury Fahrenheit 451 (published 1953). One must also mention Kurt Vonnegut, Robert E Heinlein., If you want to combine Sci-Fi with terror, the Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham must be on your list. It was made into a film "The Village of the Damned" Not to sound pompous, I earned £5 by submitting a short story to Amazing Science-Fiction magazine in 1965. Embarassing to read now, it was about a computer that knew it all and thought he was god [ATTACH type="full" alt="1704629145621.png"]36880[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
