Sam Delaney: "Considered by many to be the greatest single sci-fi novel" !!! I'm going to have to check it out.

I used to read a lot of Heinlein (great writer!) but got tired of his pounding on his libertarian political views. I've read most of Asimov, my favorite is The Gods Themselves. They were the ones that got me hooked.

Used to read my step father's Analog magazines and all the older greats were in it. That was the heyday of good hard SF although some good ones now too. Loved The Martian, both book and movie.
