Yeah, well, hard science fiction fans are the pretentious dick-cheese of the genre, who would happily write Dick, Lem, Le Guin, and Vonnegut out of the picture for the sake of their Gernsback fetish.

True fact, Einstein's theory of relativity started as a science fiction story about an impossible guy on an impossible train.

...except, I am a hard science fiction fan, and I have read and enjoyed every one of the authors you have mentioned. Additionaly, the only Gernsback I prefer is in The Gernsback Continuum.

Fairly difficult to write off Stanislaw Lem as "not hard SF" also, since most of his books are set IIIIINNN SPAAAAAAAACE btw.

Otherwise 1/10, you got me. :P

Solaris is impossible. Which is the entire point. The alien intelligence is impossible and inexplicable except on an emotive level. Set in space doesn't make it hard SF.

So is the recursive narrative of Memoirs Found in a Bathtub.

So are the NAFAL and ansible of the Hain cycle, and Lathe? Talk about missing the fucking point.

You and the nonny you replied to need to get a room.

I reeeaaaally don't think they meant "every hard sci-fi fan evar!"

If being set in space was sufficient to make something hard SF, we wouldn't be having this whole conversation in the first place, because both Star Trek and Star Wars are set in space.

Anyway it's good that you're cool and like good books. Cool.

When you say "IIIIINNN SPAAAAAAAACE" that way, it makes me think of SPAAAACE GHOOOOOSSSTTTT, which is also categorized as sci fi, because it uses the world "space" in the title.

:P

AYRT - you don't have to tell me twice! I am right there with you on this one.
