Could you recommend me books in the same vein as the story of Half-Life 2. I'm looking for a mixture of police state dsytopia and aliens.

Help would be appreciated.

Have you read 1984?

>> No.1594543

try altered carbon by richerd morgen,

more on a transhumanist bent, but the sci-fi is nice and hard, but with some great sex moments.

no aliens in that i'm afraid. (unless i read a totaly differnt edition, ha!)

Well, you can bet 1984 influenced the celebrated substance of Half-Life 2 more than any shitty sci-fi.

Looks interesting

HG Wells War of the Worlds influence Half Life series.

Anything to do with posthumanism science fiction, such as Brave New World or Dying Earth by Jack Vance or Natural History by Justina Robson.

I bid thee fuck right off, sir. 1984 is the most important book ever written.

>shitty sci fi

He explicitly stated that he was looking for a sci fi book with aliens and you go and knock the entire genre and recommend him 1984.

Just why?

Are you totally retarded? He didn't say that 1984 was no fun, or not important. He said that Capote wasn't letting the OP have his dystopia sci fi book with aliens.

He said 1984 was no fun. This gross lack of wit is that which is "totally retarded."

No he didn't. You don't know how to read so I advise you not to try any of the text boards; keep piecing things together from the images. Lots of adults can't read, though it's pretty pretentious of me to point it out.

Are you two the same person or just a couple of full on morons? I don't even have to defend the fact that you misinterpreted the post you quoted.

Ta ta.
