The Amazon Science Fiction Book List

Scifi books I love. Yes I specially endorse Alfred Bester

The Demolished Man (Alfred Bester)
A mindblowing story of a future where humans populate the Solar System.
The Stars my Destination (Alfred Bester)
Frantic, non-stop read. Started the "jaunt" concept of teleporting.
Ubik (Philip K. Dick)
Dense. Virtual world drug and an odd life after death.
The Martian Chronicles (Ray Bradbury)
Transcends the scifi genre. Beautiful, strange and human Mars.
Babel 17 (Samuel R. Delany)
Believable babel of races story - feels like Sixties...
The Man in the Maze (Robert Silverberg)
Made me think on how one feelings influences others around you.
Solaris (Stanislaw Lem)
The living planet and memories that assault us.
Stand on Zanzibar (John Brunner)
Multiple stories in a near future. Dwells on human language impact in society and artificial intelligence and synthesists...
The Fountains of Paradise (Arthur C. Clarke)
The space elevator on a thread... And a story from the communications satellite inventor.

    Well, I'm hardly unbiased but the works of Cordwainer Smith are haunting and remain more popular and known in Europe and Japan than in the US. (I'm his daughter.) See my lens or my site for snippets of his writing and more... both are his name, the lens with _ in between.

    It's been years since I read them, but I love Asimov's Foundation Trilogy. Those first three books are amazing, and deserve mention. Even though I get what you say about feeling 'human', I prefer Clarke to Heinlein, but I think that's just a personal thing.

Extra! Six more books

Going for 20 books list here...

  • More than Human (Theodore Sturgeon)
    Proto story on super powers among human. Children are the stars here.
  • The Shadow of the Torturer (Gene Wolfe)
    Not scifi. Not fantasy. A story about man with a perfect memory.
  • Methusela's children (R. A. Heilein)
    A larger than life character living forever.
  • Where the Evil Dwells (Clifford D. Simak)
    Magical. A fantasy that recalls middle-ages, but no quite.
  • Lord of Light (Roger Zelazny)
    Hindu goods and Budhism... strange.
  • The Futurological Congress (Stanislaw Lem)
    Ijon Tichy is an improbable main character loaded with sharp humour.
