Scientifically Accurate Sci-Fi for High-Schoolers?

Posted by Cliff on from the diamond-hard-suggestions dept.

Raul654 asks: "A member of my immediate family is a biology teacher at an all-girls high school. For some years, she's been giving her students the option to earn extra credit by reading a science-related book. What scientifically accurate science fiction books would you recommend for high school readers?"

    I'm sure all of the people who have died of Ebola will be happy to hear that some idiot on Slashdot thinks the disease that killed them is absolutely impossible.

    Well, GP and you must have read a different edition of The Hot Zone than I did, if in the one you guys read Ebola spread throughout the world and killed millions of people.

    Next you'll be complaining that On The Origin Of Species is bad scifi because it says that my grandfather was a lemur.
