Trouble and Her Friends by Melissa Scott

ok.. pretty well anything by Melissa Scott... She brings a distinct feminist perspective into cybor-punk. She's techn enough to keep my brain engaged, and still fluid enough to let me be swept away.

Although she was more Science Fantasy that Science Fiction, I always recomend "The Company" series by Kage Baker

Her dry sense of humor and sly mocking of humanity makes her, for me, a *one setting read*

I had totally forgotten about Trouble and Her Friends. Now I'm all nostalgic for my misspent youth!

As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn’t measure up." (Terry Pratchett)

I know suggesting Stephen King is pretty cliche, but I finally got through his book 'The Dome' that I got a few years ago as a Christmas present - it was good, and totally fits the 'science' part.

I'm a big fan of Philip K. Dick, and I love the short stories by Theodore Sturgeon.

Is the full name "Under the Dome"? I do love a good Stephen King novel (The Stand remains one of my favourites)

Also, as I had discussed with Angie, Robert McCammon's Swan Song is amazing. I may have to re-read that just because.

McCammon also wrote a great scifi/horror novel called "Stinger". I loved all of his books...wish he'd write more.

He did. He did a 10 year break and came back with 5 new books (there's a trilogy amongst a few others)

He did?? I remember when he announced his "retirement" in the 90s and I was so bummed! I will have to check out his new books. Thanks!

It's lovely isn't it...

I have a few sets of books that I reread every couple of years and they always bring me back to the first time I read them...
