@66e742bb @21149f3e My claim to hard sci-fi fame is reading the Foundation series by Asimov. I'll acknowledge the brilliance, but I wasn't all that into it. His robot novels, on the other hand, influenced my writing. I really loved how they examined humanity. 😃
@7b682b86 @66e742bb The Foundation series was brilliant, no doubt. I read that during my "hard sci-fi" kick a few years back. Although I much preferred The End of Eternity.
I really enjoyed Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. If epic sci-fi is a thing, I'd categorize it as that. Just brilliant stuff.
@21149f3e @66e742bb My all-time favorite sci-fi series was the Hyperion series by Dan Simmons. Not sure if I'd read it now, but I enjoyed it then. I even pay homage to one of the books in Torment Surfacing. 😃
