I need a good sci-fi/futuristic book.?

[LaurenGangl]

I just finished watching the movie "Moon". Also, I read The Host and am very interested in this genre of book and movie (perhaps a book similar to the movie "Moon"). I enjoy science fiction, set in the future.

Anyone have any good suggestions?

Finnegan has given you some of the classics - and they are very good, he's not steering you wrong. I, Robot by Isaac Asimov is the granddaddy of all robot books and his Foundation saga has been awarded the title of "best sci-fi series of all time" by the Science Fiction Writers of America.

Another classic writer I'd recommend is Philip K Dick (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Ubik, The Man in the High Castle)

Building on that, he are some of the modern writers/stories who you should also check out.

David Brin - Kiln People, Earth, The Postman
Jack McDevitt - Eternity Road, The Engines of God, A Talent for War
Connie Willis - Doomsday Book, To Say Nothing of the Dog
Dan Simmons - Hyperion, Illium
Neal Stephenson - Snow Crash, The Diamond Age

Hope this helps - enjoy!

Hmmm Uglies is a good series.

Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Frank Herbert - these guys are among the Sci-Fi classic authors.

Stranger in a Strange Land, I Will Fear No Evil
Foundation Trilogy
Dune, Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, The White Plague

These should whet your appetite.

I shamefully forgot to mention Harlan Ellison - "A Boy And His Dog" among other titles. This one was made into a movie that became a cult classic.

The Hunger Games trilogy??? There is this really good book called Unwind by Neil Shusterman.

the Talent series by Anne McCaffrey

any of Allen Steele's books - Orbital Decay & Lunar Descent are awesome
