/lit/ can you recommend to me good SF?
By good, I don't mean "pew pew space battleships" or "muh science", "muh technology" or "muh universe" stuff but books exploring the themes like gender, sexuality and depth of universe of emotions we experience.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 13 15:55:52 2015 No.6399190 Last and First Men and Starmaker are the best English language sci-fi books ever written. Virginia Woolf, Jorge Luis Borges and Winston Churchill are included among Stapledon's admirers.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 13 16:13:14 2015 No.6399274 Just watch the Twilight Zone instead. You'd probably learn a little something about theatricality and drama while watching it too.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 13 16:19:38 2015 No.6399295 any of Iain M Banks' Culture novels. anything Bruce Sterling has written recently - "The Caryatids" is pretty damn cool. okay, anything Bruce Sterling ever wrote.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 13 16:22:07 2015 No.6399306 >>6399141 Gene Wolfe and Ursula le Guin are by far the best SF writers. They explore interesting themes, but no retarded gender and sexuality if you are expecting that.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 13 16:24:35 2015 No.6399319 >>6399274 I love the first season. Don't like what I've seen of the second season as much. Does it continue to go downhill or what? Any other shows or films similar to it that you'd recommend?

>gender, sexuality

sickening that this is what the modern intellectual automatically thinks of when tehy think of profound themes

Stars my Destination
Beast that shouted love at the heart of the world (story and collection)
flow my tears
first men on the moon

these are all firmly middle brow though (except the last one), I don't know much that is truly high brow

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 13 16:47:45 2015 No.6399437 >>6399141 I've just recalled Arthur C. Clarke's Rama from >>6399424. It's a very intreaguing read, lots of mistery and scientifically interesting.
