The stars of modern SF pick the best science fiction
Edited on Mon May-16-11 04:29 PM by Swede
To celebrate the opening of the British Library's science fiction exhibition Out of this World, the Guardian asked leading SF writers to choose their favourite novel or author in the genre.

3. Thanks for posting that
I have to say that Time and Again and Neuromancer are right up there as my all time favorites.

4. Odd that Iain Banks isn't on the list
He's been one of the big stars of British SF for quite awhile, and is pretty enthusiastic about his SF fandom.

Figures that Mieville would love The Island of Dr. Moreau though.
