  1. To answer the good book question by schklerg · · Score: 1 · on Ask Slashdot: How Could You Statistically Identify The Best Sci-Fi Books?

    I've been trying to find some different stuff from the classics by looking at cheaper books from Amazon kindle which have some good reviews. It leads to something different than Asimov, Hebert, Stephenson, et al (which I enjoy) at least. Some I've liked are: The Phantom of the Earth - Raeden Zen Keystone - Luke Talbot Still Falling - Martin Wilsey. Of course, it all comes down to taste. There's also http://www.sfsignal.com/intera... for classics.

  5. Re:Did he predict the Internet? by GameboyRMH · · Score: 5, Informative · on Predictions of the Future...From the 1960s

    The Internet has been predicted quite a few times. Off the top of my head, Mark Twain:

    Also I found this article on the topic, although the comments are far more interesting than the article itself:
