Mahdi Posted June 7, 2001 Share Posted June 7, 2001 Robinson? No way, so dry and boring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted June 7, 2001 Share Posted June 7, 2001 Isaac Asimov should be higher in the poll and I hate those elfs and trolls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edric O Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 The Mars trilogy is my fav sci-fi series... And I don't find Robinson the least bit boring! You have to admit he puts a lot of scientific detail in his descriptions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_fox Posted July 4, 2001 Share Posted July 4, 2001 Phill, who cares? Frank Herbert is dead :(. So is Isaac Asimov :(. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted July 5, 2001 Share Posted July 5, 2001 And their works are still better than anyone else not bad for a couple of dead guys. Huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Leto Atreides II Posted July 9, 2001 Share Posted July 9, 2001 On a side note, Herbert is sort of an anti-Asimov. The Foundation series is basically about the ultimate triumph of technology & science. Herbert's earlier works, and to a slightly lesser degree Dune as well, are about the unreliability of science and technology, and how you can't tailor a surprise-free future for yourself. Read Timothy O'Reilly's "Frank Herbert" for some interesting insights into Herberts work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peseverance Posted July 9, 2001 Share Posted July 9, 2001 coolbut in Foundation the humans lost.....the invasion has already started and the person to save the humans was too late.... read the last part where they talked about the mentor... he was an alien from another species.... Technology didn't win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
