how is The Road sci-fi. is it because it's in the future in a post apocolyptic world?

[mokwella]

Yep.

[Xboxboi79]

Lord of the Rings was not on this list, I mean was this science fiction only, or was this all fantasy? If it was all fantasy, I can not forgive that, and also you forgot A lost World.

[mokwella]

This was a list of science ficton only. As for A Lost World, that's a good point. I was not a huge fan of that novel, but I love that Gladys moved on instead of waiting.

I love flowers for algernon...but how exactly is it science-fiction? (I'm guess that it's because of the "science", in the case of his surgery?) btw... I've read almost all of these. thanks for the video. ( I think that either FH451, I Am Legend, 2001, or hitchhiker's is the best)

[mokwella]

Yeah, that operation is way out of the range of contemporary science. But otherwise the story is set in a recognizable contemporary world. So a normal narrative that depends on a science fiction element to set its events in motion - that counts I think.

"A Childhood's End" at #10. Nice. I really liked that book.

[TKDLION]

I agree with you about Dune. It is number 1.

Have you read Armor by John Steakley. I just finished reading it and it was amazing.

last man firest man sould and i have no mouth and i must scream.

[DrSwirl]

best covers of any genre

imo

[Jefferdaughter]

'Starman's Son' aka 'Daybreak 2250' by A. Norton is worth considering for this list.

[ellipszia]

ASimov in the 4th place??? lol It should be the first!

[dukes0916]

Great list! Wish there was at least 1 Brian Aldiss though! (Course... to include ALL the Big-Names, you'd need a 'Top 1000'!)

Glad to see a true cross-section of the genre! With both vintage & more contemporary works!

[xxCimarronColoradoxx]

Lol I was just getting ready to ask why none of the Ender's Game books were on here and then Speaker for the Dead popped up! Great list!

@adamrocks454 Try to find the Mars series of Otis Adelbert Kline, maybe they are still in print,
