Cordwainer Smith?  Holy fuck dude, you know all the good writers.  'Scanners Live in Vain' is an EPIC short sci-fi.  (Yea, and Gunny Foyle in The STars my Destination, I thought he was tripping that whole fucking novel....) :tongue2:

You might try Murray Leinster also.  And DEF Theodore STurgeon.  Stephen King ripped off Sturgeon for so much material it is sad.

3: Robert Anton Wilson




About time someone mentioned Pope Bob. His books Prometheus Rising and Quantum Psychology are both available as pdfs online. QP is available as a link in my signature. If you can't find Prometheus Rising, PM me and I'll hook you up. PR and QP are about taking the epistemological bull by the horns and becoming responsible for your own programming--in essence, they're books about metaprogramming with exercises at the end of each chapter to help you along in the process.

Theodore Sturgeon was mainly a short story writer.  However, he got the first Nebula with the Novel 'More Than Human' in 1954.  (I got the first Edition of this in hard cover, from 1954!)  Some of his short novelettes (Case and the Dreamer) or Venus Plus X, but I really recommend his short stories, especially Microcosmic God.  He also wrote a couple of the star trek originals, I think his most notable one was 'The Trouble With Triffles'. 

Murray Leinster was also a prolific short story writer.  Here are a couple of his Novels, but i am really only familiar with his shorts, which I found outstanding.

A Happy Death
The Plague
The Myth of Sisyphus

All are quick reads except 'A Happy Death'. Have fun reading bro!

Which quote of his?

I really like one of his quotes, I forget which book it's from, that goes: "Rule one in the cosmic mechanics guide: a linear wrench will not turn a spiral bolt."

I'm actually doing a rhetorical analysis of Christopher S. Hyatt's work in my master's rhetorical theory class.  :grin:

I'm working on it as I type this.  I'm also focusing on Antero Alli's works.

Just checkout the roster of author's on New Falcon's site.  Actually, check out Original Falcon instead.
