F.E.A.R. Demo

how broad is your definition of science-fiction?

When I was a child I always liked the book "A Wrinkle In Time" by Madeleine L'Engle.

David Weber is a good author,not one of my favorites but good.my favorite scifi series is dickson's Dragonknight stories.really good books;footfall,lucifer's hammer,any of falkenberg's mercenaries or the codominium stories,the original bolo books and spinoffs,the moon is a harsh mistress,protector,ringworld,1632,1633,the spellsinger series or anything by alan dean foster,terry pratchett's discworld stories,the Vorkosigan series,the time machines,lots more that i can't remember right now.

taw:sci-fi is imo any fictional science story with a scientific basis in reality,however tenuous.now there's hard scifi and soft scifi,hard scifi uses well researched and grounded theory blended with fiction to create otherwise unbelievable feats whereas soft scifi can assume anything about technology,even be about a fantasy theme with science being an explanation for dragons,magic etc.

Michael Crichton's books are generally excellent, in my opinion (Sphere, Prey, Andromeda Strain, etc.)

Oh god, andromeda strain is my favorite book of all time. Absolutly amazing.

Is the movie "Sphere" based on his book? cause i liked that movie. Very good plot it had.

There was this game on SNES, It was a "Sci-fi,Western,shooter,RPG,mistory" I hated it, I like star treck

Book - tie - Uhura's Song and Black Fire (trek)
Movie - Star Wars
TV - Next Generation
Game - Star Wars:Rebbellion (pc)

oh man I am a sci-fi nut lol. If it is sci-fi I love it .
I have to say for TV it has to be babalon5 and stargate SG1
for movies I have to say the original star wars trilogy
and I can say for books because so many of them are great.


Blessed Be to all those that still dream of the flight to the stars.

Thanks guys, I'll put em on my to do list

@Love Shark: Thanks, at last someone mentions Gattaca... One of the best ****ing SF movies ever.

@Taw: You watch Neon Genesis: Evangelion? Cool! I have every DVD that can be bought regarding NGE. ^^

MOVIES:

Gattaca
Neon Genesis: Evangelion (DEATH + REBirth is very good, End of Evangelion just shows that Evangelion is something deeper than your ordninary action-movie.)
Star Wars (Don't underestimate the power of Star Wars , it rocks!)
Close Contact (Or whatever it's called, I've only seen it with a Swedish DVD-cover and then it was called "Närkontakt av Tredje Graden " so I don't really know what it's 'actually' called.)

BOOKS:

"Nemesis " by Isaac Asimov
"Chasm City ", "Redemption Ark ", "Diamond Dogs, Turqouise Days ", "Revelation Space " and "Absolution Gap " by Alastair Reynolds
Vatta's War series (Trading in Danger and Moving Target ) by Elizabeth Moon

That's me in a nutshell () cause I only read science fiction.
