You should always start with the classics.

>>11752215
you should start with the really obscure shit, like "The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect" by Roger Williams, and "Down and Out In" by Nikolai Kingsley.

illustrated man, october country, dune, destination:void, enders game, i have no mouth and i must scream, roadside picnic, planet of the apes, world of the wall

you will probably get a faggot suggesting philip k dick, or vonnegut. dont trust these twats. phillip k dick is amazing at times but not for what people usually praise him for. vonnegut is the most overrated author of the 20th century. everyone tries to push him into the sci fi sphere because they think they are doing science fiction fans a favor. sirens of titan sucks and so do the rest of his books. imagine fusing the style of a mental retard with mark twain
