What Is Your Favorite Science Fiction Novel
I know this probably won't draw a lot of attention,
i know that reading is passe',
but I want to know, if you've read at least two, what is your favorite.
Hint: fantasy is not science fiction,
but I'm not interested in narrowing this down to
hard science fiction, cyberpunk or space opera.
I think there will be few enough of us as it is.
Ok me first. It's very tough to narrow it down. if I had to pick one, only one
it would be, "The Last Dancer" by Daniel Keys Moran.
It has almost everything. there are aliens, killer cyborgs,
genetically engineered telepaths, human feline hybrid soldiers,
alien trained martial artists who worship the art of the kill
the guardians tasked with hunting them down,
a revolution against the world government, electricity addicted juice junkies,
and a journalist who likes to get wasted on whiskey
and play with hand grenades. Okay, so there are witches too, but not the magic kind,
they're wiccans. Oh and also there are nukes in New York,
mass insanity, a biker collective that rides across oceans,
and a hacker that walks through walls and transcends time and becomes a god.
I think I missed a few things, but you'll have to read it to find out.
It is not really fair. There are so many excellent novels.
Heinlein and Niven and Stephenson, Rucker, Vinge, Robinson, I could go on and on.
So, what do you think?
Please answer in a comment below.
Here are a couple of my efforts:

The first image is from the previous novel. I had a time of it finding what I did.
