I just came across this and thought it would be right up Holla Forums's alley. It opens with a series of quotes by prominent people in Science Fiction which I'll copy here to give you an idea of the contents.
- Steven Gould, science fiction (SF) author and president of the Science Fiction Writers of America (SFWA)
- John Scalzi, SF author, winner of the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer, five time nominated, three time winner of the Hugo Award, Nebula Award nominee and president of the SFWA
- Aliette de Bodard, science fiction and fantasy (SFF) author , five-time nominated, two-time winner of the Nebula Award and two-time nominee for the Hugo Award, SFWA member
- Kate Elliot, Nebula-nominated SFF author and SFWA member
- Veronica Schanoes, Nebula nominated SFF author and SFWA member
- Saladin Ahmed, Hugo and Nebula Award nominated SFF author and SFWA member
- Rose Fox, SFF editor, SFWA member and Publisher's Weekly review editor
I tried to read Doomsday Book by Connie Willis and it was the most awful piece of shit writing I have ever read. It was recommended as "great science-fiction!" and was a piece of shit "not science fiction but pretending to be". I got to page 200 and gave up because the story began to become ridiculous, the dialogue was absolutely awful, the characters were idiots and unable to accomplish anything in 50 pages and didn't behave like people should due to bad writing. And the book WASN'T SCIENCE FICTION. Michael Chrichton wrote that awful book Timeline which the movie of the same name was based off of. And the source material for that book was this piece of shit Doomsday book. Absolutely contrived not-science-fiction shit and I hope someone murders her for it one day.
It's that godawful.
And she's the same bitch that somehow managed to get inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame and be named as a SFWA Grand Master and in her position of power was trying to boycott and change the rules at the Hugo awards because she got butthurt over Sad Puppies voting as a block within the scope of the rules to combat sjw infiltration.
Someone fucking murder her PLEASE.
Isaac Asimov / Arthur C. Clarke / Joe Haldeman / Robert Heinlein are great. And surprise surprise they're all white men from a less pozzed era.
My favourite old sci-fi: Childhood's End Foundation The Forever War The God's Themselves Stranger in a Strange Land
Alastair Reynolds writes some great science fiction today, I especially enjoyed House of Suns.
