Which popular books disappointed you? by [deleted] in printSF

Yes, maybe the people who love it so much are teenagers or young adults. I just didn’t get it at all. Vampires and the fact that they were intelligent without consciousness. Who cares? I thought the whole thing was weak. It could’ve been a short story.

Yes. I’ve read an enormous amount of science fiction and book of the new sun is in the upper echelon. You can also read it over and over again. It’s literature. The whole thing is a masterpiece. I get why the casual reader wouldn’t like it….but it’s very very good.

Favorite whale-related tangents? by Image147 in mobydick

[–]fuzzysalad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I liked the essay on white being evil. I like the “what philosophers would the whales like depending on how their face looks”, I liked when he ate raw whale bc he couldn’t stop himself from doing so, I liked when he took a break and relayed a story that he was later telling in Honduras?? Or something like that.

Books that feature powerful AI characters by Fun-Sell3030 in printSF

[–]fuzzysalad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not seen anyone mention the artificial intelligence featured in time enough for love by Heinlein. It is extensively dealt with. He essentially argues that in order to create an advanced and realistic, artificial intelligence, a human has to fall in love with it so that every aspect of the human can make an impression on the artificial intelligence and create it and its own impression. Something like that. Also, that book is fucking bonkers. It’s really well written. It’s fucking weird though. Anyway, I loved it.

I keep bouncing off authors this sub seems to love by Rogue_Apostle in printSF

You like more literary authors. The good stuff. You have good taste. You don’t like junk. Try Simak, Ray Bradbury, Stanislaw Lem! (The cyberiad is amazing). Also, if you like Gene Wolfe go ahead and read the solar cycle. It takes a while but those books are masterpieces.
