Ace Hardcover, 2007

An Entertaining Trip

+ This book was a lot of fun to read...
+ cheap and easy...

I really liked this book. I finished it in two days. It would have been a stay up all night book, but being 38 and a mom I can't afford to do that any more. I just found it very entertaining. I loved the glimpses I got of MIT and its imagined future. I just wish he had spent more time in ...
  
  











  



  
Earth is Room Enough1 review
Isaac Asimov

Fawcett crest, 1970

Classic Sci-Fi by the Good Doctor himself

This was, strangely enough, my first science fiction book ever. A friend who read a lot passed it on to me, and I was instantly, as a pre-teen, hooked on Asimov and science fiction. The premise of these stories is that Earth is "room enough" or has enough material to write science fiction ...

Connie Willis

Spectra, 1993

Induces anxiety attacks- epic!

+ Fantastic read!
+ Please put this on KINDLE!

Some say that nothing at all happens in the 600page book. Do they have any empathy? The plot is POWERFUL! I was dragged deep into the dual plots. I couldn't keep my mind off the problems presented in the two times... how to get out of sticky situtions (those situation being hugely epic and ...

Master of Space and Time9 reviews
Rudy Rucker

Running Press, 2005

Rucker's best novel -- wonderfully bizarre. 5+ stars

+ Michel Gondry's adaptation...

______________________________________________ "Master of Space & Time" (1985) is still my favorite Rucker novel, in which the tale of three wishes granted is explored via quantum mechanics, with wonderfully bizarre results. The apotheosis of Harry Gerber... I've read MST at least three ...

Accurate protrayal of a physics department

+ Not Free SF Reader
+ One of the most important books of our time

I read this book when I was a physics graduate student at Cornell doing thesis work on NMR. A friend told me there was a science fiction novel which involved physics grad students doing NMR experiments, so I had to read it. This book perfectly captures the tense and exciting world inside a physics ...

Tor Books, 2004

Absolutely Top-flight Sci-Fi

+ Awesome book!!
+ Vintage Vinge

Marooned in Realtime is a superb book. I am not personally an avid reader of mysteries, but this is a truly grand and imaginative piece of science fiction storytelling. There are actually two mysteries here - a heart-wrenching murder mystery and the abrupt disappearance of almost the entire human ...
