While C. S. Lewis has been mentioned, his main Science Fiction (The Perelandra trilogy) has not been.
“Surprised you’re the only who to mention Alfred Bester. The Demolished Man was terrifying.”
Haven’t read that. Read “The Stars My Destination” more than once. Very good.
“While C. S. Lewis has been mentioned, his main Science Fiction (The Perelandra trilogy) has not been.”
Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and “That Hideous Strength” were very good. For Lewis the quality of their work qualifies him for the top ten of SF, but his quantity disqualifies him.
I think Bester is a notch below the other top ten SF writers we’ve mentioned.
I was actually quoting Martin from "The Simpsons".
Oddly enough, I've never read any of his work (except maybe for some old short story in an old magazine or anthology that I've forgotten about). I probably have something by he in one of the boxes in the basement.
