All Tomorrows is a weird fetish artbook with the bare minimum of actual storytelling. I have no idea why so many people like it so much. The art isn't even that good.

I'm looking for good sci-fi for my dad, who's in his 70's. He expressed today that he wishes he could find more. It's quite a task because he's been reading it his whole life. Every book he's recommended to me has been awesome; some of which are:
>"Great Sky River" by Gregory Benford
>"A Matter for Men" by David Gerrold
>"Armor" by John Steakly
>"The Mote in God's Eye" by Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle

He also insists I read John Varley's "Gaea" trilogy. What would you recommend my dad?

Any sci-fi books that aren't exclusively for homosexual jews and their familiars? I don't need the opposite ideology paraded all over the book, I just want some good sci-fi that operates from the old convictions about what "normal" is rather than being written safely from within the current regimes sponsored ideology of anti-racism and forced diversity.

Some books I love are "Great Sky River" by Gregory Benford, "Armor" by John Steakley, "Day of the Dragonstar" by David Bischoff, and "A Matter for Men" by David Gerrold (literal faggot, but his books are great).

Great Sky River, the protagonist is named Killeen.
Aside from some of the names it's pretty different from Blame!, but if you liked one you'll probably like the other.
Feersum Endjinn was also an inspiration, it's pretty good too.
